Alaska publishes a quarterly list with the names of Indigenous people reported missing — but it still doesn’t issue a list for those who’ve been killed.

When a local nonprofit requested that information, the state said no.

" #Navajo babies . . . typically weren’t given names until they have their first laugh. . . . But why wait until they laugh?

"Navajos are great observers, so when it came to newborns – and this is supported to modern data on infant mortality – the period between birth and the first laugh is most critical. Without prenatal care or modern monitoring technology, the first laugh was the best marker for Navajos to judge survival. When baby laughs, it’s a sign that she has found a very important lifeline – laughter itself.

"Of course, when baby first laughs, a celebration – or ceremony – is held. The one to make baby laughs has the responsibility of making the event happen, because it is said that baby will inherit qualities of that person – and there’s no better trait than generosity."

“What happens to us is that we are stripped of our territory, poisoned with smoke and mercury, and also deprived of the means of life such as water, soil, and food” -Ruth Alipaz Cuqui, coordinator of the Indigenous alliance CONTIOCAP

Led by the American Indian Center, Chicago’s oldest Native-led organization, Indigifest is rooted in the understanding that as the Indigenous people of this land, we carry the responsibility to guide the conversation on Turtle Island about what Indigeneity means, what it has endured, and where it is going. In a city built on Native land, where Indigenous presence is often overlooked, this festival is an unapologetic reminder that we are still here.

"The concept of the nation-state is deeply colonial, acknowledged the Declaration of the Third International Congress of Comunalidad. Furthermore, it 'prevents the flourishing of a comprehensive vision of life, (...) denies the self-determination of our peoples and the possibility of maintaining a balance with our environment.'

"It was acknowledged that Western civilization has turned life into a commodity and 'has sought to isolate us as individuals, pushing us toward ambition, accumulation, and profit at the expense of what nourishes us and gives us existence.'"

The bill that will torch Māori-Crown relations #Māori#Indigedon#Indigenous#Aotearoa#ETangata

“They are creating the illusion of a threat to justify passing legislation that would make it incredibly difficult for Māori to have their existing rights recognised.“ — Toni Talamaivao
