Last November I (evel here) decided that there should be a World Indigenous Peoples Day every month, not just November or whatever. I stopped doing it due to bullying and exhaustion but I'm hoping to start it again next month starting 17 May!

Please send me links or anything you'd like us to share! We dont have a huge reach but i'd like to use it (and our friends who I know will boost!) to help us Natives out!

If Turtle Island moderated all anti-Semitism, anti-indigeneity and racism according to Fediverse accepted practices, it would be full time jobs for our admins and moderators.

A huge portion of the Fediverse would be suspended.

Guess what it's not our job to fix the Fediverse.
It's not our job to converse with all the trolls and sea-lions.
It's not our job to provide free anti-Semitism, anti-Indigeneity and racism consulting for individuals, organizations or groups.

The solar eclipse is a special time in the history of Indigenous nations. Founded in August 31, 1142, the history of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (Iroquois) speaks of their founding under a full solar eclipse. Western scholars only verified it in the 1990s. As such, the Haudenosaunee are one of the world's longest lasting democracies
