@carapace The problem with this video is that it is not honest about the fact that the method of gardening used here, the indigenous African #zaï technique, was interrupted due to colonization and that a farmer from Burkina Faso, Yacouba Sawadogo, is responsible for its revival. White ppl cause problems and then position themselves as saviors in remediating those same problems. The propaganda is maddening. #UnitedNations #USAID #gardening #decolonization #permaculture

Mx. Luna CorbdenJust a little tip from a white American living on stolen land to other white people trying to decolonize:
Use your powers of commerce for good. Track down your local tribal businesses and shift your purchases over to them. (I know you have some – even living up north of Seattle I couldn't help but notice some, so I'm sure you'll find them if you actually go looking, and if not (say if you live on the side of the Mississippi where indigenous people were OUTLAWED), find some online.)
Money is power, so give some of your power to people who will use it for better things than Starbucks investors do.

Oh!! And the huge convenience store which was where we stopped on the way home after our emergency visit up here last fall while making the decision to escape mom to up here, the one where I posted (or intended to post) a pic of the Bear Spray Recycling Bin, is owned by the tribe! I will be shopping there on purpose now. It's closer to where I live than down in Bonner's Ferry proper. Maybe I'll make that my main gas station.
I remember it was a REALLY nice convenience store. Rather huge, lots of lunch type foods, like real sandwiches. I was super in trauma-brain, so I can't describe my fragmented memories well, but I remember being quite impressed.
I've been trying to get an accurate bead on the policing up here. Word from the human rights taskforce is that the three police forces, including Kootenai Tribal Police, cooperate, that they're aware of hate groups and keep an eye on them, and that they're not aggressive towards the left.
I'm trying to connect the dots here (I'm sure I'll learn more), but these dots seem to go: Kootenai refused to sign the treaty with the US that would have stripped their rights, held a peaceful war (civil disobedience and blocking traffic) to get rights without giving any up, and because of that got a significant amount of policing power, which has influenced settler policing.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that THESE particular cops are not bastards. Until I hear otherwise.
"The Kootenai Tribe of Idaho Police Department is a Community-Based Policing agency which prioritizes interaction and input from the Tribal Community to address issues which affect the lives of its members."
I see their cars out around town, btw. They were patrolling around the protest along with the sheriff.

Finally finding some info on the local Kootenai tribe. (I'd searched before but only found Wikipedia, and some info on the Canadian groups.)
Check this out. This happened just days after I was born!

Shotgun Seamstress"When we talk about black culture, it’s normal to use terms that seems monolithic. Even using the term 'black culture' is an example of that. The Afro-Punk movie was subtitled The Rock’n’roll N***** Experience. We are constantly tempted to talk about black experiences as The Black Experience. Making #ShotgunSeamstress has been a way for me to keep myself company as one of few black punks in the various scenes I’ve been in, and it’s also been a mode of psychic liberation — maybe even #decolonization — for me. Telling varied stories of varied black outsider experiences has proven to me the vastness of black self-expression."
This is the best interview I ever did, 10 years ago with fellow punk writer & musician Jes Skolnik. I feel like it's going to disappear from the internet soon (some pics are already missing), so I may cut & paste it into my blog.
The Forgotten Women of Punk: Shotgun Seamstress’ Osa Atoe on the “Super Tiny” World of Black Punk
There is a narrative about punk – call it the American Hardcore narrative – that women and non-binary-gendered people were active in punk during the initial wave, then disappeared as the 1980s progressed due to the rise of macho hardcore. As the…
I wish I could show you inside my head, the maps of cultures, societies, timelines, history, organizations, themes and metaphors, collective symbols, worldviews, human psychology, all of it intersecting across each other like multidimensional cells in a Petri dish.
I *can* put this stuff into words, like in this thread, but there's so much I just don't have energy to go into. Or, sometimes that particular view that I'm looking at it isn't quite yet formed.
Stuff enough useless knowledge in there for 50 years and some patterns do start to emerge.

A lot of typos and errors in this thread. I was fighting with my phone's autocarrot for just about every word the entire thread.
It's readable though.
