Illustration about Native American boys who have to cut off their braids to follow school dress codes.
And black people have the same issue when it comes to finding jobs/careers.
^^^^ yes but it ainât about us right now
this is actually really important and pardon me for doing the cliche reblogging with a caption thing but i want to talk about braids and just how significant they are
to native people (and of course i canât talk about every native tribe as there are very specific sects and i only really am coming from the perspective of seneca) hair is extremely important as it represents the walking of the Sacred Path as the physical extension of thought and self, and holy men, women and two-spirits are identified through specific styles of dress and even if not holy, the hair shows what a person has participated in, their feelings, their age, whether they are married or not, whether they are in mourning and their tribe
my grandfather is seneca and he had to remove his braids at a very young age and it was an act of assimilation because his mother knew they had to try to be white in order to proceed and itâs a tool of oppression and humiliation to cut (or force to cut) a native american personâs hair for both religious and cultural preservationist reasons
my mom is half-seneca and her choice for me to not cut my hair until i was 13 and for it to be worn in traditional manner was because of this and when i cut my hair then, i cut it off at the base of my head for also this reason; i was diagnosed with depression and was going through therapy, i wanted my hair and my treatment to signify that i was becoming a new, better personâ eventually i started dying my hair but that is for separate reasons of colour symbolism and itâs still an important thing to me
please do not invalidate the struggles of other POC, i understand that this happens and itâs horrific to not be able to wear your natural hair, these are also children whose culture and religion is being stripped away from them and they canât even participate in something so important within their culture simply because of white patriarchal ideas of masculinity
^^THIS
American Indian children (especially plains ndns) were forced to attend boarding schools where they were forbidden to speak their own language and had to cut off their hair and choose a âwhiteâ name from the bible. If you refused, the teacher would often ridicule you by ignoring you anytime you attempted to speak or participate in class, to the point of saying offensive, false things about your people to rile you up enough that you gave in and picked a white name so the teacher would let you speak and tell the truth. (This is shown in bury my heart at wounded knee). In fact, it is hard to trace records before the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries bc the govt considered the way native peoples often have several different names that they go by in different context and by different people to be too annoying to record them in a census, another reason they were forced to choose white names.
Being oppressed for your natural hair and the names you choose is a real thing other poc face and itâs wrong and itâs racist, but this specific post is about what it means to American Indians, and for them it was not only racist stereotyping, but forced assimilation and genocide of their cultures.
dude holy shit being ridiculed for not assimilating was the least of your worries in a residential school. i know people who were forced to kneel on sharp rocks in a corner for speaking a single word in their native language
some fun facts abt residential schools:
⢠people who went to residential schools were abused physically, sexually, verbally, and emotionally. my mushum went through all of these until he turned 18 and was allowed to leave
⢠boys were not allowed to wear their braids. period. the point of the residential schools was to âkill the indian in the childâ and you can google literal before-and-after images of students that the schools would distribute as a source of PRIDE
⢠the government would experiment on the students, starving them to see how long they could go without food before it seriously affected them. officially, over 6,000 native children died in residential schools. our government admits the number was likely much higher
⢠residential schools were literally hitlerâs source of inspiration for concentration camps during world war II
⢠where im working right now, there are people in their 30s who were forced to attend residential schools
⢠the last residential school closed in 1996, one year after i was born, two hours away from where i live, twenty minutes from my familyâs reserve
native assimilation has been the goal from the very start
La importancia del cabello largo en las culturas indĂgenas americanas
if you are in high school and you follow me idc if you learn nothing else from me, but learn this: do not join the fucking military. they will promise you all sorts of things in exchange for joining their muder-system for a few years. do not listen to them. you wonât find a sense of purpose, you wonât find an adventure, you might not even get the money they promise you for college. if you survive, youâll come back with blood on your hands, feeling just as aimless as before except knowing youâre a killer. the government will drop you like hot potatoes the second you are not useful to them, and you will be on your own with nothing but some ptsd and a more intimate understanding of the phrase âblood for oil.â
They also have a way of targeting POC as well as those who are in a family that isnât doing well financially. Be wary of any and all recruiters.
Read this thread if you wanna know what the military does to people
I also recommend the podcast What a Hell of a Way to Die, which is by two men who joined the military very young, (one of them was 17) and then became very leftist socialists after seeing it for what it really is. They cover a lot of topics like anti imperialism, military propaganda, fascism, and talk about all if it from a perspective I havenât heard before.
They did an episode about this topic pretty recently, titled Recruiting 16-Year-Olds: Patriotic Child Grooming.

stranger things meets mean girls
yall are so fucked with your cancel culture shit. and i dont mean like the james charles and pewdiepie and projared drama or anything like that.
i mean when yall bring up shit from 5+ years ago that people never had repeat offenses on after they immediately apologized after being told they were in the wrong.Â
you seem to forget people grow and change over time. you seem to forget switching your opinions and growing and doing better and becoming a better person is part of being human, part of being a person. like, not to be that guy but a year ago i was an aphobic transmed. am i now? hell no, because i grew up and realized i was in the wrong and changed.Â
holy shit. people are humans. dont fucking idolize them and rip them apart when you dig up shit they said 5+ years ago that they have never done since. dont place people on pedestals and expect them to be flawless. nobody is. and this isnt even about violent racism, transphobia/homophobia, or predatory behavior either so dont try to twist my words.
Iâm begging yall to stop pulling out âââââreceiptsâââââ from 8 years ago when they were 15, Jesus Christ not everyone was woke at 15. I used to respect the police, are you gonna kill me for that?!
NOBODY is âwokeâ at 15. nobody knows ANYTHING at 15. get yourselves together. remember there are human beings behind every post. and hope to everything good in the world that your own actions donât come back to bite you in the assââbecause if the way people are behaving now continues, itâll hit you really hard.
SOMETHING TO NOT FUCKING FORGET AND I DONâT THINK ITâS TOO EARLY TO REMIND ANYONE: He was at the time the most dangerously incompetent oaf to ever win U.S. presidency in anyoneâs memory, he did so despite losing the popular vote with the American people, he was a laughingstock and riddled with scandal from day one, he made other countries hate us, he caused cost of living to skyrocket, his vice president was an openly homophobic warmongering maniac, he harmed environmental policy, set back health care and education, violated human rights, divided the nation, fed into racism and xenophobia and everybody you can think of from Hollywood celebrities to world leaders stood united against him. His name was George W. Bush, and after four years straight of all the above, he won another four year term by over 11 million more votes than the first one.
Donât get complacent, basically.
im actually crying
this is literally the equivalent to harry potter defeating voldemort in book five and spending the rest of the series trying to defeat dolores umbridge but once he suceeds he becomes the new dark lord he just defeated .93 seconds ago and ron has to kill him

Does anyone have suggestions for books to read (similar to A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones)?
Literally every women in GOT who wanted to take power for themselves (Cersei, Dany, Ellaria, Margaery) has been vilified in some way
Women who try to take power for men or have no interest in power whatsoever (Sansa, Arya, Brienne, Gilly, etc.) have not
Tell me again how this isnât sexism.
Gotta do it
I donât care what news I get I just want this stupid potato dog on my dash
