I noticed they "accidentally" used the old Minnesota state flag during Vance's visit last week - a white farmer plowing a field while an indigenous man rides into the sunset. Doesn't really get less subtle than that.

They are simply dumb people.

Thank you for sharing (everything but particularly) the course for Native American Resistance for Everyone. Myself and several of my neighbors here in Colorado Springs will be joining! Thank you, as always, for your words.

"There is so much going on for us to do together."

Thank you for all the links in your post, especially the video of Vinny Dionne speaking.

And here's Darrell Hillaire of Lummi Nation speaking:

This old pale face man more and more is ashamed to be an American, he often wonders if the real Americans today wish their ancestors had killed every white person who stepped off a sailing ship?

Some more than others, I'm certain.

Your enthusiastic determination gives me hope this morning. This is such an important event! We need more like it across Turtle Island (I’m based in Tkaronto). That quote from Ernestine Hayes brought tears to my eyes as I watched her speak them in the mini-doc you linked to. I have pinned the other links you shared to listen later. Wishing you the greatest of support for IndigiPalooza! For those who want to promote it on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ipfestmt?igsh=NThta2kzeXVvb2p4
