JUST IN: “Reservation Dogs” (@RezDogsFX) has been renewed for a third season by FX.

"In Indian Country, identity is intimately connected to nationhood and sovereignty as well as personhood ― the sense of where one comes from and who one is." Read @SeahdomEdmo in the Huffington Post!

Special thanks to @rebeccanagle of This Land Podcast for all your investigative reporting on this and so many other issues we face across Indian Country!

Identity lies at the crossroads where the personal meets the collective, and the strength, health and well-being of families connect with communities and nations. Today, it’s under attack. #ProtectICWA

Opinion from OCJ's Board Chair, @SeahdomEdmo, "how could a child welfare case threaten to topple tribal sovereignty?[...] the same thing that threatens us all: a small group of people hoarding resources and power to ensure they keep their unearned privilege―aka white supremacy."

Being American is more than a pride we inherit— It’s the past we step into, and how we repair it.

1/ The Nightmare Scenario SCOTUS is Plotting For the 2024 Election Takeover:

The Supreme Court has been going rogue—throwing out precedent and making shit up—on tribal sovereignty for decades. That’s bc Indigenous nations are the canary in the coal mine. If more Americans paid attention, you would see the warning signs & weaknesses in our democracy.

Slavery, segregation, voting rights, gerrymandering and abortion all have one thing in common: “States rights.” Since the first draft of the constitution, “Leave it up to the states” has been code for “Leave it up to the racists.”

I don't know much about baseball and I prefer peach cobbler to apple pie. But when @HuffPost asked me to write the opening for a series on America's oldest tradition, I understood the assignment. After all... What's more American than violence? huffpost.com/entry/american…

@niabia339 Totes!

@SethGodinsTribe 1- I was disappointed in Akimbo today to hear you describe #harveyweinstein survivors as people who “traded” their dignity for fame. They are victims of a violent sexual predator 2- you aren’t the leader of a tribe, stop appropriating our culture

@blackportlander @vivianherself @TEDxPortland @MelaninMvskoke Ok - one in hundreds. She’s amazing - and, this isn’t her traditional territory. There’s something that is threatening about the power and presence of Indigenous people who are from the place where settler colonizers live - that they never want to see or hear us

@SeahdomEdmo @vivianherself @TEDxPortland Amber Starks/ @MelaninMvskoke did it the year before me (2015), but I actually looked through all of their years a few years ago to see if I could find someone else Native and I couldn't find anyone. I could be wrong though.

@pdxmitch @TEDxPortland FWIW - I don’t think I have EVER seen a native person on their stage

7/7 I for one am super sad that an event that has always been inspiring and educational and about community turned political. There are platforms and places for political commentary and discussions and debate. @TEDxPortland should not be one of them.

1/7 I love @TEDxPortland . I have listened to so many amazing talks from people like @PDXStephenG @irishem333 @turoczy and today, @Jelanimemory and @TatianaTMac. So many performances too. But today - unbeknownst to anyone- there was a surprise interview with Betsy Johnson…

Words like “hate” are not enough to diagnose the role of white supremacy in this political moment nor the history of our country. It’s structural. It not about how people feel.
