100 years later and nothing has changed. a very close friend teaches in the rez and it sounds like a fucking nightmare.

Yeah it’s fucked up. Current generations are barely learning about inter-generational trauma. It’s getting better, but it’s going to take time.

I am more concerned about academia hijacking movements for sovereignty to tie them into global authoritarianism. I just watched a native org at COP26 get doomed in real time, but they won’t make the leap to fully realize it’s all bullshit. Like, they got so close, and then went back on it. Frustrating. I can only nudge people so much, you know?
