It is not nearly common enough knowledge that most Native tribes in the U.S. don't actually own all of the land within their reservation. There are millions of acres of reservation land that tribes don't legally own and they have no control over how that land is used. Like, there are a lot of different concepts tied in with the land back movement, but a major one is literally just getting reservation land back into tribal ownership.
So we know land back is Indigenous sovereignty Native agency and Indigenous stewardship yes. Land back is them respecting treaties they promised to respect ages ago but didnât. Land back is them respecting the agreements they made with sovereign nations but broke instead. Land back is us going back to our ancestral lands. Land back is referring to Indigenous land by native names not colonizer ones. Land back isnât a ethostate or deporting people Or whatever fever dream settlers have thatâs cuz of settler colonizer projection and guilt.ďżź
âIf you're American, you've almost certainly heard about how Indigenous reservations were and are located on whatever land the US doesn't want anyway. That they're just a way to whisk away undesirables until the land becomes useful to the US. That's the two-state solution.âďżź
Two state solution is living side by side with people that tried to exterminate you with land theft genocide ethnic cleansing and settler colonialism When we say land back We mean all land stolen by settler colonizers Not just half of it to appease colonizers or respectability politicsďżź
âitâs worth mentioning that the proposal of a âtwo-state solutionâ is exactly what was offered to the Indigenous peoples of the Americas by European settler colonizers as a peaceful way to coexist.âďżź
Land back. Indigenous 𪜠agency, sovereignty, and stewardship. All land back.
