Erasure is one of the ways anti-Indigenous racism works. When you look across K-12 education, news media, and pop culture contemporary Native people are mostly absent. The cruel irony is that we survived genocide only to live in a country that pretends like we no longer exist.

Happy Native American Heritage Month! The month when we are slightly less invisible than we are the rest of the year.

Banned Books Week 2024 is here. Another reminder that people are banning books about racism rather than working to eradicate racism. Eight of my books have been banned or challenged in the U.S. 📚 How to Be an Antiracist (banned) 📚 Stamped from the Beginning (banned) 📚 Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You (banned) 📚 How to Be a (Young) Antiracist (challenged) 📚 Stamped for Kids (banned) 📚 Antiracist Baby (banned) 📚 Magnolia Flower (challenged) 📚 Goodnight Racism (challenged) Witnessing my books being banned and challenged and misrepresented; facing constant attempts to sully my reputation; being made into a bogeyman to drum up racist rage and jealousy and resentment—I know this is part of the job, if I’m exposing racism effectively. But it makes my work as a scholar and writer harder. This doesn’t get me down, however. I do hard for a living. This gets me up into gratitude. The harder my job has become, the more grateful I’ve become for those of you who keep reading and sharing and teaching my banned books––and all banned books. ✊🏿🙏🏾

The superintendent of Rapid City schools was fired last week over racist comments she made about the Native student population, including that tribal leaders in the area didn’t value education. ictnews.org/news/superinte…

🧵The Arizona Lawyer Apprentice Program, announced last week by @AZCourts, will boost legal services by giving aspiring lawyers who narrowly missed the score required to be fully admitted another avenue to begin their careers with mentorship and support in Arizona.
