Winona LaDuke's religious philosophy and political practice is a key part of this blog. I'm happy to bring you these images, but not happy for the circumstances: on-going genocide of the Apache. Winona is Anishinaabekwe (Ojibwe).

So disgusting that in their thrust to learn more about the universe they forget the very people who could tell them some of what they need to know...if they'd listen. ignorant fools. we're all implicated, though. i know i am as a black colonized low level settler woman.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to know you, Dark Daughta. Thank you for writing this comment.
ReplyDeleteWhen will any corporate television even mention these atrocities?
When will leftist white men care as much about these violations as they do about anything else they concern themselves with?
More power to the Apache.
