1,950 mile-long open wound

dividing a pueblo, a culture,

running down the length of my body,

staking fence rods in my flesh,

splits me splits me

me raja me raja

This is my home

This thin edge of

barbwire.

Rebloggable response to a white person demanding to know “what they have taken from POC”

Every white person is not responsible for the actions of those in the past who stole Native American’s land. Those people are not the ancestors of every single white person. Those people who stole their land are not alive today. What are you gaining by persecuting an entire demographic today for the actions of a fraction of them years ago? What is that accomplishing?

lol no white people are STILL actively stealing our land. don’t just pretend it’s all a past issue.

You may not be the descendants of those who stole white people’s land but you are still benefiting from it. And last time I checked yall aren’t the ones on reservations so how are you being persecuted?

The “i didnt do it so im not a benefiting from colonialism” argument is redundant. Descendants of the people who stole the land away from the indian are benefiting today. Your privilege still exists. It will always exists. No one is asking for reparation, we are asking that you acknowledge the unspeakable history and that you acknowledge the privilege you and your descendants before and after you will benefit from.

Alejandro Cartagena - The Car Poolers (2012)

“A bridge is situated on a highway that goes from the Mexican city of Nuevo Laredo — across the United States border in Laredo, Texas — due south to Monterrey. In the winter early-morning hours, Cartagena stood there, pointing his lens down at the passing cars, like a distracted spy.

He was peeking into the backs of the pickup trucks, where construction workers pile together on their way to earn an honest living. Car Poolers is an effort to peer inside these tiny worlds that straddle public and private.”

Proud to Be Indigenous Week starts Monday, May 20th. Are you part of it yet?!

Indigenous Peoples from around the world will be descending on New York City for the United Nations’ Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII). While most of us can’t make it to New York, our voices need to be heard! Proud To Be Indigenous is an online campaign for Indigenous People to share their stories. The Proud To Be Indigenous coalition includes over 40 Indigenous and Indigenous-friendly organizations, large and small and from all over the world, that will be sharing photos, videos and stories about Indigenous, Native and Aboriginal people online during UNPFII (see the fill list of coalition members below).

But most importantly, Proud To Be Indigenous is about you, the Indigenous People from around the world, and sharing your story and voice. How? Throughout the week, we are encouraging people to share photos, videos and stories of themselves and why they are proud of their people and culture. We have already started receiving photos, videos and stories from Indigenous People in the Arctic, Amazon, and Central Africa! Join your Indigenous sisters and brothers and send us a photo of you holding a #Proud2BIndigenous sign so that next week, thousands of Indigenous people are showing their pride and sharing their voice. And make sure you are following us on Facebook and Twitter because during the week, we will be sharing Indigenous stories and news coming out of UNPFII.

How can you get involved? Its easy, no matter where you are.

TAKE A #PROUD2BINDIGENOUS PHOTO

Take a photo of yourself with your homemade #Proud2BIndigenous sign. See a few of the great examples we have already received below:

Then then post them on the Proud To Be Indigenous Facebook page with a message telling us your name, your People and where you are live.

If you are on Twitter, tweet your photo using the hashtag #Proud2BIndigenous or #P2BI and we will retweet it.

And if you only have email, just email us the photo to proud2bindigenous@firstpeoples.org and we will share it for you.

That’s it! Make sure you sign up and join the movement so we can update you throughout the week on what is going on. And check out the schedule below for the Proud To Be Indigenous events in New York during UNPFII.
