Where anybody wandering by might see them.

For any town that became a city and decided to think about trails and paths and sidewalks ... are there any outdoor landing spots for bugs and pollenators ... ?

And what about refugees from neighboring spaces?

How many prisons and prison camps have corrupt Republicans opened?

We at the Ecostead would eventually like a more official yard sign for Mark Charles 2020 campaign, too. #AllThePeople

A Native Perspective on Memorial Day

There are four US holidays that both as a US citizen and a member of the Navajo Nation, I find difficult to fully celebrate. The first is ...

#PSA and friendly reminder:

"Saints" are a colonial invention. They are part of the settler tradition to attempt to "reframe" what actually happened in the past 528 years, to minimize the horrific severity of what their ancestors (both white settlers from Europe who displaced and killed Native Americans on their conquests west, AND Spanish Conquistadors who similarly plundered and murdered Indians' villages and people as they traveled north) did. Spanish "colonial" style extravagances of large crosses and churches and missions are evidence of this genocidal history.

Settler histories are predicated on faulty notions that the continental landmass today which contains the US of A was available for the taking. Religious falsehoods about saints were beaten into children forced to attend Indian Boarding Schools. The texts of history books were embellished to disguise or mask the truly horrific abuse and genocidal historical events.

The Thick Dark Fog

Walter Littlemoon, a Lakota author and public speaker, attended a federal Indian boarding school in South Dakota 60 years ago. The mission of many of these schools in 1950 was to "kill the Indian and save the man." The children were not allowed to speak their language or express their culture or Native identity in any way. This is the story of how Littlemoon confronted his past so that he could renew himself and his community.

These #OpenFacts are not sweet sugar-coated things.

[1] The KKK is who funded that guy named G. Borglum to work on that atrocity of what settlers call "Mount Rushmore".

[2] Sand Creek Massacre: 500 Arapaho and Cheyenne men, women, children, and babies brutally killed (some were mutilated) by crazed settlers looking for more ways to make themselves and the kyriarchy (KKK rich) by westward expansion.

[3] Abraham Lincoln unleashed "some of the most brutal acts of genocide and destruction against indigenous peoples" because he was caught between the proverbial (or maybe not so much proverbial) rock and a hard place. The only way to gain favor among enslaved black settlers was to "value" them more than indigenous peoples... and this 3/5ths of a citizen is why he wanted his legacy to be civil rights. The real truth is much darker.

There's nothing here to be debated. If you LISTEN to the words of survivors, you can learn some important things ...

When things get hard, if/when you become "desperate", don't be like G Borglum or hold to the delusion that money will be your ticket out of the tough spots.

Realize that the 20 or 30-something "prepper" who uses reddit religiously to antagonize or incite divisiveness among PoC ... that is the modern KKK doing exactly what LIncoln did. They're very active on Facistbook and Twitter too. Nothing scares these guys more than the idea of #AllThePeople calling them on their bullshit.

Force your Senators and Reps to #Decolonize their delusions. Make them listen to you, and when they won't, bring in the mental health professionals.

Mount Rushmore, An Indigenous Perspective

YouTube

IT IS SO BAFFLING that Mark Charles has negative 350 karma on Reddit. I was wrong about that place; somebody there really doesn't want anyone to hear what he has to say.

The indisputable conclusion is: Reddit is perpetuating white supremacy; it is like Facistbook and Twitter, part of the problem.

Updated the instance summary note to the Fediverse; guess who is going to regret suppressing independent voices?

> We stand with Wet'suwet'en! Decolonize your thinking: "Traditional Ecological Knowledge" (TEK) is the most valuable asset you can have as the world continues to sink deeper into the chaos and destruction of broken, inequitable, and faulty colonial systems. We encourage you to join us as we build and participate in an Ecological Democracy that includes #AllThePeople as envisioned by a Navajo Nation member running in 2020. Tell the militants to throw their guns into a volcano; TEK doesn't work like that. Decenter whiteness. Living walls, not border walls."
