I stated my day posting about the need for us to do better. By now many of you have seen the video of this elder being stared down by the poster child for the future of white supremacy. I will not post the encounter on my feed, but it’s all over Twitter and major news outlets. It’s also available on the original posters feed. See below. I’m not going to lie. I felt this one. This moment weighs heavy on my heart. The racism... the ignorance... of the young people in the other video. The disrespect to this elder... to #NativeAmericans... to our ancestors. The words of this elder are simple, earnest, heartfelt, and painful. They echo the pain of generations. “We did not have walls.” “We took care of our elder and our children.” Please take 56 seconds. Watch this video. Listen to his words. Understand the struggle. Thank you @ka_ya11 for posting. #Repost @ka_ya11 with @get_repost ・・・ #ipmdc #ipmdc19 #indigenousunited #indigenouspeoplesmarch #indigenouspeoplesmarch2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs1Cw43hLQv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18hxxei6z580
