A question that cuts to the truth: America is foreign to those whose ancestors arrived just 535 years ago. First Illegals, Stolen Lands. Europeans were the original undocumented, claiming what was never theirs. Don't rewrite history—own it.

#nativetiktok #freinds #tiktok #fypage #foryoupage #IndigenousTikTok #IndigenousTikTok #lipanapache #nativeamerican In June 2020, Indigenous activists, led by Mike Forcia of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, toppled a statue of Christopher Columbus at the Minnesota State Capitol. This act was a direct response to years of unheeded petitions for the statue’s removal, symbolizing a rejection of colonial narratives and an assertion of Indigenous sovereignty. Forcia faced a felony charge of first-degree criminal damage to property for his role in the statue’s removal. In December 2020, he agreed to a plea deal, accepting 100 hours of community service to avoid trial. The imposition of colonial laws on Indigenous individuals raises critical questions about the legitimacy of such legal frameworks on stolen lands. Many Indigenous people argue that they never consented to these laws, viewing them as tools of oppression that perpetuate colonial dominance. From this perspective, actions like the removal of the Columbus statue are seen as acts of civil disobedience and reclamation of Indigenous rights and narratives. The case against Forcia highlights the ongoing tension between Indigenous sovereignty and colonial legal systems. Many believe that prosecuting Indigenous individuals for acts defending their heritage and rights is inherently unjust. They argue that Indigenous peoples should not be subjected to laws imposed by colonial powers without their consent, and that such cases should be dismissed in recognition of Indigenous sovereignty and the historical injustices they have endured. This incident underscores the broader struggle for Indigenous rights and the need to address the legacies of colonization that continue to impact Indigenous communities today.

You’ve turned a blind eye to injustice—allowing racism, threats, and criminals to thrive while punishing innocent creators, including Indigenous voices. The so-called rules you enforce often protect the guilty while silencing those who report wrongdoing. If America takes over your app, consider it the same justice you’ve denied to so many by failing to address these injustices. Now, as the U.S. government seeks to shut TikTok down on January 19th, the clock is ticking. If you remain in the U.S., we hope you take this moment to rebuild, to stand for fairness, and to truly support the creators who rely on your platform. Let justice and respect guide your future—for the good of all." TikTok has given countless people a voice, a livelihood, and a way to connect across cultures. These lives depend on your platform, and that responsibility is bigger than profit or power. It's time to step up, honor the creators who built your success, and protect the community you claim to serve. No matter the outcome, remember: justice and fairness are what truly define a lasting legacy."

#nativetiktok #freinds #tiktok #fypage #foryoupage #IndigenousTikTok #lipanapache #nativeamerican #Pocahontas #matoaka Pocahontas, born around 1596, was originally named Amonute and also known privately as Matoaka. The nickname "Pocahontas," meaning "playful one" or "little mischief," reflected her lively and curious nature. As the daughter of Wahunsenaca (Chief Powhatan), the paramount chief of the Powhatan Chiefdom in present-day Virginia, Pocahontas held a significant position within her community. In 1613, during hostilities between the Powhatan Chiefdom and English colonists, Pocahontas was captured and held for ransom by the English. During her captivity, she was encouraged to convert to Christianity and was baptized under the name Rebecca. She married English tobacco planter John Rolfe in April 1614, which helped establish a period of peace between the two cultures. In 1616, Pocahontas traveled to England with her husband and was presented to English society as an example of a "civilized savage," aiming to stimulate investment in the Jamestown settlement. In March 1617, as the Rolfes prepared to return to Virginia, Pocahontas fell ill and died in Gravesend, England. She was buried on March 21, 1617, at St. George's Church in Gravesend. The exact cause of her death remains unknown, with theories ranging from pneumonia, smallpox, or tuberculosis, to the possibility of poisoning. It's important to recognize that Pocahontas's life has often been romanticized, particularly in popular culture. In reality, her story reflects the complex and often tragic interactions between Native American populations and European colonizers. Recent AI-driven facial reconstructions attempt to provide a more accurate representation of Pocahontas, acknowledging that contemporary European depictions were likely influenced by cultural biases and did not accurately portray her true appearance.
