The US Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that the Black Hills were unconstitutionally taken and awarded the local tribes a settlement of $120.5 million, which, with interest, is now worth over $1.5 billion. The Lakota Tribe continues to assert their right to the land and has not accepted the monetary award, stating that- 'The Black Hills Are Not For Sale'!

The monk asked, “What happens after death?” The master smiled, “What happens after sleep?” The monk said, “I wake up.” The master nodded.

Y’all be ignoring that our ancestors actually weren’t just eating, laying around & having sex. They were deep into crafting, storytelling, creating languages, communing with spirit, etc. The issue is, some of you are so removed from carnal pleasure that all you want to do it that— whole time there is more to life than it, that’s why our ancestors had systems/connections to the ALL which we are just now beginning to understand.

This reminds me of a fascinating story I read,of when in the 1970s Daniel Everett,a linguist and Christian went to the Amazon jungle to convert a tribe called the piraha people to Christianity and completely failed for one crazy reason 😂😂 When Daniel Everett arrived with his wife and kids at the remote Pirahã village in the Amazon, His mission was clear…learn their language,translate the New Testament,and convert this isolated hunter gatherer group to Christianity. What he encountered instead was one of the most radical cultural and linguistic worldviews ever documented 😂. From his experience,Everett eventually formalized what he called the “Immediacy of Experience Principle”. What this means in essence is the Pirahã culture and grammar strongly constrain what can be meaningfully discussed or believed…to them,knowledge must be anchored in direct,personal observation or at most in the recent testimony of living people you know. Things that happened long ago,that no one alive has seen,or that exist only in abstract or supernatural realms fall into the category of what they called xibipío (“gone out of experience”). They don’t deny it outrightly.. to them, such things simply carry no weight and are not worth serious talk. This principle shapes everything for them… and is why they have No creation myths or origin storis , No numbers beyond rough quantities like “a few” or “many.” , No recursive embedding in grammar (you can’t easily say “kelvin’s brother’s house” … you say two separate sentences). Their Stories and discourse stay tethered to the here and now. Now Christian theology, by contrast, is built on precisely the kind of claims the Pirahã worldview filters out…A distant creation,Miracles and events from thousands of years ago, A savior no living person has met, Salvation and afterlife described in ancient texts. Everett tried …He told them the story of Jesus..his birth,teachings,death,and resurrection. The Pirahã listened politely,then asked the questions their language and culture demanded… “Have you met this man?” “Did you see him?” “Did your father see him?” When Everett admitted he had not , that these events happened 2,000 years earlier and were known only through a book,the conversation effectively ended 😂. “That’s interesting,” some of them would say, treating the Gospel the same way they treated any other distant tale…as something outside lived experience, therefore irrelevant to how they live and what they believe. Notice It wasn’t hostile rejection(like the one you’d get from the people of the sentinel islands in India). It was epistemological incompatibility. The theology couldn’t even gain traction because their entire system of knowledge validation rejected second hand ancient testimony. Everett kept trying for years. He failed to produce a usable Bible translation. Meanwhile, living among people who were profoundly content, generous, and empirically grounded …with no concept of sin, eternal punishment, or a distant deity. By 1982 he himself started havinv serious doubts about his beliefs and by 1985 he had quietly become an atheist. The man who had come to convert the Pirahã had instead been “converted” by their way of seeing reality.😅 As Everett later wrote and said in interviews, the deepest challenge wasn’t an argument against Christianity. It was living inside a culture where the very criteria for what counts as real knowledge made supernatural historical claims feel as weightless as yesterday’s dream. The Pirahã didn’t need to debate theology. Their language and worldview simply had no slot for it and, in the process, they helped a missionary lose his faith without ever raising their voices.😂 Makes you wonder, what would a Christian say the fate of these people is? Eternal torment? We can all see how that would be problematic. Would they somehow make heaven and get judged by how they live their lives? But That would make the whole Christian message irrelevant. 🙂

Most Americans think in four-year cycles. History runs on centuries. The average U.S. city is barely 150 years old. Some landscapes in North America were shaped by Indigenous societies for thousands of years. Roads feel permanent. Governments feel permanent. Institutions feel permanent. Until suddenly they aren’t. Deep time is the one perspective modern civilization keeps ignoring.

“Denmark dropped the most genius thing ever” and it’s the smallest chinampa you’ve ever seen lol Anyway, indigenous Americans have been doing this for literal millennia

600+ acres of land in California were returned to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians near Palm Springs. The land includes important wildlife habitat, aquifer recharge functions, and cultural resources, which the Tribe plans to manage for conservation, open space, native species protection, and preservation of archaeological and cultural materials.

What if quantum immortality is real—and every time we die, we simply wake up at the beginning of our life again?

📜The U.S. signed about 370 treaties with Native American tribes. Over 90% were broken, ignored, or rewritten! Land promised? Taken. Rights guaranteed? Violated. Sovereignty recognized? Undermined. Thousands of promises. A long history of betrayal — Never trust The US. #History

English is a foreign language in America!

When European settlers arrived, they didn't find empty wilderness. They found complex societies with trade networks spanning thousands of miles, astronomical knowledge passed down through generations, and confederacies that had maintained peace through democratic councils long before the Founding Fathers gathered in Philadelphia. The Iroquois Confederacy, also known as the Haudenosaunee, united six nations under a system of checks and balances, representative government, and consensus building. Benjamin Franklin and other founders studied their Great Law of Peace. Some historians argue it directly influenced the federal structure of the United States, though this remains debated in academic circles. By the time state lines were drawn, displacement had already begun. Treaties were signed and broken. Languages were suppressed. Ceremonies banned. Yet Indigenous nations persisted. Today, over 570 federally recognized tribes continue their governance, cultural practices, and fight for sovereignty. Their history didn't end in the past tense. It continues in courtrooms, classrooms, and on reclaimed ancestral lands. #archaeohistories

Imagine being a thief stealing Native American land and resources

When Biden was President and we didn’t hear from him a few days people would say, “Is he even working?” That’s normal. We’re not supposed to wake up to breaking news every fucking day.
