Another victim of Cesar Chavez breaks their silence: ​​‘My body remembers’

“I am only alive right now because of my son, art and because of the Black, brown, Indigenous and Indigiqueer community who listened to me, who have held me, in times where I did not want to be here,” Porras said. “For years, I allowed myself to believe that I wasn’t worthy of real peace, real happiness or just anything good.”

“Even today, people along its path are shaped by the [Trail of Tears], including a singer in a Cherokee choir who said that she, merely by existing, is ‘the answer to an ancient prayer.’"

When the Arimathæan took Thee dead from the Tree
who art the Life of all,
He wrapped Thee, O Christ,
with myrrh and linen;
and he longed to embrace Thee
and to press Thine undefiled Body to his heart and lips.
But, being restrained by fear,
with rejoicing he cried out to Thee:
“Glory to Thy condescension, O Lover of humankind!”

I wouldn’t say that most federally recognized Natives are white-passing but many are. Also, it’s far too derivative to say that most of these Natives are white supremacists. There are plenty of NDNs that are darker-skinned, myself included, along with the majority of my tribe. Mullin, for all his MAGA faults, has also worked with and for tribal issues alongside democrats. Regardless, many Natives in governmental positions fight for the gov instead of tribal nations, sadly.

I don’t know if this is supposed to be reassuring or not, lol. Is this going to be retroactive? 😳

“‘Your test is the domicile of the parents, and that is the test you’d have us apply today, right?’ [Gorsuch] said. ‘Are tribal members born today birthright citizens?’”

“Sauer hesitated: ‘Uh, I think so on our test, yeah, if they’re lawfully domiciled. I’d have to think that through.’”
