Happy National Indigenous History Month!!
[pt. Happy National Indigenous History Month!!. end pt.]
in canada, national indigenous history month is celebrated in june to recognize first nations, inuit, and métis peoples! as tumultuous as this year has been for indigenous people, i want to celebrate our continual resistance through joy and presence!!
for this month i’d like to send some recognition to indigenous mogai creators, particularly canadian first nations, inuit, and métis creators and coiners! (if you see some not listed here who you’d like to be, please let me know)
@pupgendered a métis mogai coiner who has coined terms such as métis queer and métis plural!
@anigitli a mixed native coiner who has coined terms such as ethnivariant mi’kmaq and indigigirl and indigiboy
@radiomogai a métis and jewish coiner and archiver! they have a wonderful archive with tons of indigenous and non-indigenous coins
@isuggestlandback a canadian cree creator who posts lots of indigenous awareness, politics, and important commentary
@lucidsdog a canadian inuk furry artist who is very talented and frequently has commissions open!
@ladyimaginarium a mixed mi’kmaq, métis, and more creator who’s posted several coins such as mi’kmaq / i’nuk intersex and two spirit
i’d also like to take the time to include some resources for both native and non native people interacting with this post! these resources are focused on canadian first nations, inuit, and métis peoples, but can be used for a wider range of nations!
