Hello everyone, you all have been asking me ways to help the Indigenous peoples of the United States. The best way you can help the Indigenous is through knowledge. Below I've linked resources that you can access to educate yourself. This account, while not run by a chief, is run by an Indigenous teenage girl who still experiences the societal neglect and racism towards the Indigenous. I appreciate you all and your wanting to learn about our culture and ways of life so much, more than you know, and sharing our culture is such a powerful tool in this world.

I support you both through your decision and these times. I will gift your baby the following: A handcrafted beaded necklace, some corn and a bassinet woven by my wife.
Cherokee art is most commonly known for hand weaved and painted baskets, as well as pottery. Pottery is most often created by men within the tribe. Men also often hunt while women gather and cook. Both participate in the arts, and those of two spirited origin can play the role of either sex in traditional ceremonies.
Why, hello. Today I awoke, ready to lead my tribe and assisted in the organization of our roles for the day.My hunters returned and told me they found little to no buffalo which has left me heartbroken, although the crops will hold us over for now, such as our corn and wheat, two things very relied upon and even used in ceremonies by many tribes. Then, I spoke with the children in my tribe and made pottery with the teenage men. Overall, it has been a good day, but I fear we will need to move west in search of the Buffalo.
(ooc: While this account is satire... I do love to share elements from my culture with others and teach them things they may not have known about tribal life. :) )
The buffalo used to do so. Not the tribes though. Only some. There was a lot of infighting and cannibalism.
In the 17th century in the US and Mexico, the United States government began Christian Boarding schools.
Did you all know that turquoise is cherished to the Indigenous? Men and women alike wore jewelry crafted of turquoise and partoke in creating them.
