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'!

In 2016, 5,712 Native women and girls were reported missing in a single year. Only 116 of those cases were entered into federal databases. Behind every number that was never counted is a name that deserves to be spoken.

This isn't just a landscape; it’s a terrestrial mirror reflecting across the heavens. The ancients understood the lens of "As Above, So Below"—in this vast wisdom or knowledge came from the movements of stars—that there exists a blueprint for life on Earth. ~Lakota Star Knowledge 🦬 …

"Upon suffering beyond suffering, the Red Nation shall Rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world. …A world of broken promises, selfishness and separations, a world longing for light again. I see a time of Seven Generations when all the colours will gather under the Sacred Tree of Life and the whole earth will become one circle again.... “I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells. For when you are at that centerwithin you and I am at that place within me, we shall be one.” ~ Crazy Horse-Tašúŋke Witkó, Oglala/Sicangu/Miniconjou, (1840-1877)

All nine Oceti Sakowin (Sioux) tribal nations have joined together to file a lawsuit to stop destructive drilling at sacred Pe'Sla in the Black Hills. #Landback #BlackHillsBack

🚨: Native American smudging is a proving scientific reality. Burning a sage removed 94% of airborne bacteria. It's time to stop calling it a "belief" and start calling it a "fact".

The core problem with MAGA is that they’ve swapped patriotism for personality worship. They love Trump more than America. When he attacks our institutions, mocks our military, or puts himself above the Constitution, they cheer. That's a cult. Real patriots put country first. 🇺🇸

For three decades beginning in the early 1900s, Edward S. Curtis devoted his life to documenting the lives, traditions, and dignity of Native American peoples across North America. With a deep sense of purpose and a heavy camera in tow, Curtis traveled thousands of miles to live among over 80 Indigenous tribes. He witnessed and recorded ceremonies, daily routines, and vanishing ways of life—capturing not only images but also oral histories, music, and languages that might otherwise have been lost to time. Curtis approached his work with reverence, aiming to preserve what he believed was a noble culture under threat from rapid colonization and assimilation. His portraits are striking in their detail and humanity, often set against stark natural backdrops or filled with ceremonial regalia, capturing both pride and vulnerability. Through his lens, we see elders, warriors, medicine men, and young children—all frozen in time at a pivotal moment in history when Indigenous communities were being systematically stripped of their lands, rights, and cultural practices. Though Curtis’s work has drawn both admiration and criticism—some for his romanticized or staged compositions—it remains an invaluable and haunting record of a people pushed to the brink. His vast collection, *The North American Indian*, remains one of the most ambitious ethnographic projects ever undertaken. Today, it offers a powerful, if complex, window into the resilience, beauty, and strength of Native American cultures before the full force of U.S. policies sought to erase them. © Historical Photos #archaeohistories

“Man belongs to earth,
earth does not belong to man.” ~ Chief Seattle,Duwamish and Suquamish, (1786-1866)

For those of y’all that didn’t know, they killed Buffalo’s to starve the Indians knowing that was their only main food source. “Every buffalo dead, is an Indian gone.”

The biggest myth about Native Americans in the US is that the Whites “conquered” us. That’s a lie. The government didn’t annex land by conquest but by hundreds of fraudulent treaties—lying and cheating Native people out of generational wealth in an injustice that’s still ongoing!

“Be still and the earth will speak to you.” ~ Hopi,

“The spirit of the Native people, the first people, has never died—their spirit lives in the rocks and the forests, the rivers and the mountains. It murmurs in the brooks and whispers in the trees. The hearts of these people were formed of the earth that we now walk—and their voice can never be silenced.” ~K.Nerburn,

“Find What Speaks To Your Energy And Live It.” ~ A.D. Posey, Muskogee (Creek) Nation. 1873-1908

@latestincosmos Always love this photo, ✌🏾 …Reminds me of Black Elk.

Never forget White US leaders tried to solve their “Indian problem” after the Civil War by destroying the main food source of Native Americans on the Great Plains knowing women and kids would die along with the men. They hunted buffaloes nearly to extinction for this reason—bad!

The Lakotas did not want their Sacred Mountain desecrated with these faces of foreign presidents who were all horrible for Native Americans and caused all the issues facing Indigenous nations today!

The Yurok Tribe has regained roughly 47,000 acres of ancestral land in California, marking the largest land-back agreement in the state’s history. This milestone follows a 23-year collaboration with Western Rivers Conservancy, culminating in a $56 million transfer of land along the Klamath River. For more than a century, this area—including the Blue Creek watershed—was controlled by logging companies, severing the tribe’s connection to a region central to their culture and identity. Now back under tribal stewardship, the land is being restored as a salmon sanctuary and community forest. Efforts will focus on protecting cold-water habitats, reviving traditional practices like controlled burns, and strengthening biodiversity—highlighting the vital role of Indigenous leadership in long-term environmental care.
