DoomsdaysCWI've been living on #Wabanaki land for many years now, and ever since I moved here, I've been championing and advocating for the #WabanakiConfederacy . Before that, I lived on #Wampanoag land and participated in the #DayOfMourning protests / ceremonies, and before that, I spent my childhood in #Pentucket territory, getting to know all the plants and animals that lived in the woods and wetlands there -- wondering about the people who lived there before (they were wiped out). My first awareness of the true story between "Cowboys and Indians" was the movie #LittleBigMan with Dustin Hoffman and #ChiefDanGeorge of the #Salish. The depictions of #genocide made me cry, and ever since then, I knew why I always sided with the "Indians" -- and knew there was more to the story of #Thanksgiving and the Wild West -- it was all about #colonialism, #ManifestDestiny, and expansion into #NativeAmericans' homeland!
