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 mΓ©tis 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 iβd like to send some recognition to indigenous mogai creators, particularly canadian first nations, inuit, and mΓ©tis creators and coiners! (if you see some not listed here who youβd like to be, please let me know)
@pupgendered a mΓ©tis mogai coiner who has coined terms such as mΓ©tis queer and mΓ©tis plural!
@anigitli a mixed native coiner who has coined terms such as ethnivariant miβkmaq and indigigirl and indigiboy
@radiomogai a mΓ©tis 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 miβkmaq, mΓ©tis, and more creator whoβs posted several coins such as miβkmaq / iβnuk intersex and two spirit
iβd 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 mΓ©tis peoples, but can be used for a wider range of nations!
