Help me Native Tumblr

I wanna learn more about Native Canadian folklore stories (because I wanna make a fakemon region based off canada and not including any pokemon based off of native folklore feels wrong) but I don't know where to start?

Apparently it's really common for people to just make up fake folklore stories, which scares me because what if I find one and accidentally think it's real (and then make a pokemon based off it and look like an idiot)

But I don't know any good recourses to learn about this kind of folklore, and I don't know where to start. So please reblog this post telling me where to look

i finally found the thing i've been looking for

searching for, for years

i finally found it on an island out east

and there it tasted just as i'd imagined it would

rich chocolate, delicious and sweet

where i couldn't smell the difference in the air

but i could feel it on my skin

where i found myself in that rich red dirt

where it fades to soft amber sand

where it fades to an endless horizon of steely blue

and when i found it again here

at home, in the gray world

of tall glass buildings and honking cars

and the gasoline i can smell

it doesn't quite taste the same here, no

synthetic sugar, not quite right

not like it did on that island out east

with the rolling hills and the deep green trees

and the goats and the cows and the potato fields

ah, that's home, that's where i'm from

if not me then my family

and my family's family

His solution to the Aboriginal question was to introduce to Queensland a version of the reserves for native peoples of the United States and Canada.

To keep our aboriginals away from contact with the whites, out that section with which they unfortunately mingle, is the most beneficial act of friendship within our power to bestow. It is also the only possible method of saving any part of the race from extinction.

Canada does not get to hide its historical and ongoing genocidal actions and policies towards indigenous people.

And yes, coerced sterilisation *is* both genocide and eugenicist. I wish I didn’t have to keep explaining this to folk, but I do.

In the 1970s, we saw mass sterilization. What people aren't aware of, is this has continued and is still in practice to this day, particularly to Native Canadians. Canada has a grimy history of eugenics. That history still effects citizens to this day.

This practice makes getting reproductive healthcare a dangerous task to many indigenous women. It must be said, of course, this experience is not exclusive to indigenous people. It has also effected (and in many places continues to effect) African Americans, Latinas, and Disabled folk.

In other cases (more common in the 20th century) poor white people and immigrants would also suffer under the knife. I must also address that there were SEVERAL groups that have suffered from such discrimination. The common thread between them is that they were seen as "unfit" and/or "other" by quote on quote "society."

PSA: Stand up for groups that are being "othered." They often are suffering more than we know. Between fear of backlash as well as people being silenced, groups such as these have every reason to stay silent. The few that first come out are extremely brave and should be remembered as such.

I know I don’t have a large following. I know this post will get lost in the sea of other posts. I know I don’t come on here often, and when I do I try to keep my page free from death and other serious topics. Yet, I think this is imperative to say, especially since I myself am of indigenous descent. I ask all of you to join me in solidarity.

Cole Brings Plenty, actor, model, and most importantly activist was found dead. He was assaulted in a club in Lawrence, Kansas. He was killed and his braids; a symbol of his heritage, of his Lakota decent, and a sacred symbol across many an indigenous nation, were forcibly cut.

I beg of thee and I plead with thee, spread the word. Do your part, however big or little, to bring light to this situation. Whether it be by reblogging this post or others alike, or by going out and making a stand. Do it.

Shed light on the situation. This goes beyond the death of one man. It is about the abuse and the destruction of natives and their communities. Of the killing of many an innocent soul. Of the brutalization of many First Nations.

We have seen time and time again, many indigenous people die by similar means. We need to bring light on the deaths of any and all indigenous individuals dead, missing or at risk. It is an epidemic, an assault, and a silent cleansing of many a nation.

Whether it be the estimated 6,000 dead at the hands of Canadian residential schools, the murdered and missing indigenous women and children, or the killing of an actor and activist, you cannot deny the sheer abhorrence of this problem. The problem of many Native American people dying, going missing and being abused, at an alarming rate. At a level unprecedented and unparalleled, at a level of which should not be kept silent.

Cole Brings Plenty, actor, model, activist.

Look at him and spread awareness for him and for many others befallen by the same fate.

Remember him. Remember all of the others. Let nobody else befall the same fate again.

Let me and Google spit some knowledge your way.

“Two-Spirit” is a term used within some Indigenous communities, encompassing cultural, spiritual, sexual and gender identity. The term reflects complex Indigenous understandings of gender roles, spirituality, and the long history of sexual and gender diversity in Indigenous cultures.”

Around 10 years ago, a linguist with experience in Haudenosaunee languages, Karin Michelson, was invited by three Oneida women to assist them in going through the archives of one of the world’s best-known museums. The Oneida women went to the Smithsonian Institution as part of a program known as Breath of Life, which enables Onkwehón:we to bring linguistic works back to their home communities. Michelson, who co-authored a dictionary for the severely endangered Oneida language, came along to help them sift through the archives. She first forged connections with the Oneida when she was at the Centre for Research and Teaching of Native Languages at the University of Western Ontario. “I think I would not have stayed in school if I had not met some of the people I got to work with,” she said. She went on to teach at Harvard before finally settling into a role at the University of Buffalo. But Michelson, a non-Indigenous woman who grew up in Chateauguay in the 1950s and 60s, encountered something else in the Smithsonian’s archives that caught her interest and surprised her – an unpublished manuscript called Notes to a Mohawk Dictionary.
