Engraving of Spaniards enslaving Native Americans by Theodor de Bry (1528–1598), published in America. part 6. Frankfurt, 1596
What Happened?
In the beginning colonists enslaved African and Native American people. Native Americans were enslaved before African people arrived to the United States. Eventually the arrival of African slaves caused the development of relationship, a kinship, between these two cultures. They grew to have children together creating the Black Indigenous race. African and Native American people produce intermarriage.
In the beginning Black Native Americans were created through enslavement as time progressed some Native American populations decided to enslave Africans. Children that came from intermarriage of Black and Native American people were considered illegitimate. There wasn't enough Native American blood to address that as their identity.
The Facts?
"As early as 1708, the slave population of South Carolina, a colony that benefited from fully conceived practices of slavery in Barbados, had an enslaved population of 2,900 African descended slaves and 1,400 Native American slaves"
"In Charleston, South Carolina, slave traders could purchase both African and Native American slaves; however, these experiences were not merely documented in the annals of history, periodicals, and scientific analysis."

Is anyone else pleasantly surprised at the sheer amount of black, latino and other poc!reader fics that have come out of the ATSV fandom? Like it’s normally so rare to find fanfics with a poc or a dark/brown skinned reader in mind but seeing so many different people integrate their culture and background into their work is genuinely heartwarming

THIS THANKSGIVING
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
five things white folks can do instead of celebrating a genocidal, settler holiday.
1. pay your settler taxes to indigenous land trusts.
2. Relearn your own ancestral holidays, pre whiteness, that center community, gratitude, wellness, and sustainability.
3. Honor the people and the land by committing to a no waste holiday season. Boycott black friday and only spend money at small black and native owned businesses.
4. support native food sovereignty and seed saving movements with time and money.
5. Pay bail for indigenous and black people held captive by the state during the holidays.
you can help us! you can make a difference. it doesn't have to take up much time. please, help spread the word.

fabian > no equivalent (olivia vibes)
the most popular kid at school who is both in dance and on the football team. somehow gets decent grades as well. no close friends, but a lot of people who know him and want to get on his good side. kind of depressed, and his dad's currently in prison. he started playing the guitar as a way to show off and then genuinely started enjoying it
adaine > mo
she's a concert violist (playing the viola) always an accompaniment for her sister and is striking it out on her own for the first time. her family is very upset about this, and consistently puts her down so she'll go along with they want her to do. also she recently transitioned to going to public school for the first time, making her the new girl.
kristen > no equivalent
she's recently ex mormon, got out of her parents house (currently living in her car) and without all of her former friends stuck in a student president position that she got when she was still with the religion. questioning her sexuality after one too many encounters with the soccer team captain, tracker. used to be on the church choir, was a bit too enthusiastic about it.
gorgug > no equivalent (charlie vibes)
he's got like one or two kinda friends (mainly fig). extremely busy with his classes and with marching band and self isolating as a result. he's stressed out about living up to his parent's name (they run a very successful electric engineering company). signed up to work as a sound tech for the theatre department bc one of the female stage managers is very cute (zelda) and then discovered that he rlly like it.
riz > no equivalent
no friends! (other than maybe the AV club + penny) too used to burying himself in work at both his part time gig and with his insane amount of extracurriculars. started playing the piano bc he heard it helps with memory retention and overall cognitive ability.

It's important to recognise that what's happening in Palestine, what we are witnessing and what people are experiencing, are not isolated to Palestine.
You may hear people talk about the war in Sudan, the silent holocaust in Congo.
It's because these and so many more atrocities in the world are linked. They are preperuated by the same systems.
[Video Transcript:
So as a Palestinian when I say Free Palestine, I am not just talking about Palestine. I started nursing school in 2015 at Saint Louis, just a few miles away from where Michael Brown was killed by police.
Being in that city at that time, watching Black Lives Matter being born, stirred up a lot of feelings for me as a Palestinian.
I saw a country justifying a child being murdered by the state, in the street. I saw the people protesting that murder being vilified.
Standing there, protesting, watching a militarised police force with tear gas and rubber bullets matching towards me.
And I thought, this is that.
As a Palestinian to understand what is going on in Palestine is to understand the de facto aphartied that black Americans experience here in the states.
It's not an accident that when my grandfather came here, he was told to sit and the back of the bus. And it's not an accident that he marched with MLK.
It has been black and Palestinian solidarity, and it continues to be black and Palestinian solidarity.
Because yes, Free Palestine is about Palestine ceasefire now and the military occupation of the Palestinian people. It's also about resisting the global colonial hegemonic structure.
Because the shit happening there is happening here. If it isn't Palestinian women and babies being killed by bombs in Gaza, it's black women and babies being killed in American hospitals.
If its not Palestinian girls missing in the rubble. It is missing and murdered indigenous women here in the United States.
The rage I feel when I hear the names Michael Brown and Treyvon Martin is the same rage I feel when I hear the names Shireen Abu Akleh and Ahmad Manasra.
That's not to say that allyship is transactional, it is to say that the only thing we have is each other.
There's a reason that when people ask me about Free Palestine, I will point them to books on Black Lives matter.
When I say Free Palestine, yes I mean Free Palestine but I also mean Black Lives Matter, I also mean abolition now. I also mean reparations, I also mean land back.
This movement cannot lose steam, not just because there is currently a genocide being perpetuated against my people. And every minute we don't do something Palestinian lives are being lost.
But because this is a global struggle for justice. It does not start and end with Palestine, we will not be free until all of us are free.
The world is waking up, there has never been global solidarity for Palestine like this.
And we have them so scared. The violence is so disproportional because we are challenging a global power structure. Don't let the momentum die because this is about all of us.
Ceasefire now.
End the occupation.
But know what I mean when I say, Free Palestine.
End Transcript.]

Why Empowerment?
Empowerment is essential to the existence of Native Americans. Power was removed from Native Americans and Africans, their identity has attempted to be erased from history, eradicated to the point where people question if their population is still alive. Empowerment provides a voice for Black indigenous People against racial discrimination that happens even throughout the reservations. Black Native American's life is almost primarily dedicated to proving their identity, proving they have enough Native American. The attendance to ceremonies, attempt to adjust to customs, and still having to prove they are supposed to be apart of the tribe is every reason for empowerment. Empowerment is important to show there isn't anything unusual about the mixing of the races, Black Native Americans have existed since the start of the United States.
Facts-
"In her high school, there were a couple younger girls who were also black and Native American. And she said they became inseparable, because they understood what living that reality meant."
“We had all suffered some sort of racial discrimination on our native American side that We’re all able to say, ‘Oh that happened to me, too,’" she said. "Like the teasing, the bantering, the hair the scrubbing your skin raw because you want it to be lighter"

Lucinda Davis (c. 1848-after 1937) was a slave who grew up in the Creek Indian culture. She spoke the Muskogee Creek language fluently. The main information source was from an interview in the summer of 1937, at which time she was guessed to be 89 years old. Lucinda's parents were owned by two different Creek Indians. Being enslaved so young without her parents, she never found out her birthplace, nor the time of her birth. Her mother was born free in African when she escaped her captors either by running away or buying back her freedom, the white enslaver, who was also the mother's rapist and father of Lucinda, sold their child to Tuskaya-hiniha. Lucinda was brought up in The way the Creeks treated slaves was considered a much different and kinder form of slavery than the way the white Americans, Cherokee, or Choctaw went about it. Families could work under different slave owners and did not have to live on the same property as whom they worked for. The slaves worked quite hard and were paid, but had to give most of their pay to their owners, being allowed to keep a small amount. Lucinda was treated as a family member and did her duties. Her responsibility was taking care of the baby, amongst being an extra hand for cleaning and cooking here and there. She was not beaten or disrespected. It was understood what was needed of her, and she followed along.
