On why it's pointless for Elizabeth Warren to take a DNA test (but she should still stop saying she's Cherokee). Thanks to @Kolyin for compiling my June 2016 Twitter Tutorial on @wakelet. Speaking of...why are we STILL dealing with this? https://t.co/c2QJ6Ovwsp via

“Indigenous peoples in the United States sorely need health data. Yet health-care centers and public health institutions regularly overlook Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and other Indigenous peoples when collecting data and conducting research.” https://t.co/KVSsl5BpR5

Being fierce for all of us means being fierce for Black Native relatives, especially the Freedmen that you have harmed by supporting and passing policy that exclused them and by refusing to listen and work with them. https://t.co/CLcvSQiwHK

On this HISTORIC day it’s important to remember the history that got us here.

Originally the Bureau of Indian Affairs—the agency tasked with managing the US gov’s relationship w/ Indigenous Nations—was housed in the War Department.
Many times, I have heard the argument that either the federal government or Freedmen themselves are trying to “force the Freedmen onto their tribes.” This couldn’t be further from the truth. Tribal slave-owners forced our ancestors into these tribes and these communities.

Hey Americans,

There is a *major* difference between *being* indigenous and having indigenous *ancestry*. For instance, I have Cree ancestry and Irish ancestry but I am *not* Cree, nor am I Irish. See how easy that is... I do not speak for the Cree people, nor the Irish

There's that distinct divide of a lot of poets/academics (not all) who hide behind cultural "I am more Native than thou!" fundamentalism that insists we must be protected from art. https://t.co/F82uAtoPik
