Yehuda TurtleIsland.social2/ TurtleIsland.social doesn’t get a lot of moderation reports, but when we do most of them are anti-Native and follow a similar path. No broken rules referenced, just ‘Other’. No description of the complaint, just check-marking Native posts or replies. Most likely because if you put a description to the racism, bigotry or fragility, it would sound incredibly stupid and wrong as it actually is...<a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/WhiteFragility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteFragility</a> <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/Native" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Native</a> <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> <a href="https://turtleisland.blog/2025/03/09/dominant-culture-fragility/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://turtleisland.blog/2025/03/09/dominant-culture-fragility/</a>

Yehuda TurtleIsland.social1/ Native people have been practically exterminated in North America. The killing and oppression have not stopped. It may be under-reported in mainstream (white) media, but Native people see non-stop deaths. Our women and children are raped, dismembered and more. Our coffins are garbage bags. Our graves are garbage dumps. All this is a continuum that stretches from invasion to today.But yeah, let’s talk about white fragility...<a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/WhiteFragility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhiteFragility</a> <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/Native" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Native</a> <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> <a href="https://turtleisland.blog/2025/03/09/dominant-culture-fragility/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://turtleisland.blog/2025/03/09/dominant-culture-fragility/</a>

Yehuda TurtleIsland.socialYoung Native people, especially in their 20's, Women, Two-Spirit and LGBTQ really make me happy & give me hope.When I was born, it was literally & for all practical purposes illegal to be Native, to express your culture, your identities, your sovereignty. Colonialism had suppressed & erased many things, some never to be recovered.But now & especially with the newest generation, people are reconnecting, culture is being revived & in some cases birthed.

Yehuda TurtleIsland.social1/ Under a viaduct just north of me, a mosaic influenced by a poem written by an old friend of mine who has gone to see his ancestors, Ed Two-Rivers. Ed was a poet and a playwright. Back in the 1990's one of the first web sites that I had made for someone else, I made for Ed and his Red Path Theater Company.That's him under the vent and his poem on the door. Poem on next posts. <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/EdTwoRivers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EdTwoRivers</a> <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Poetry</a> <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/Chicago" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chicago</a> <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/Native" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Native</a> <a href="https://turtleisland.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> <a href="https://localwiki.org/chicago/Indian_Land_Dancing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://localwiki.org/chicago/Indian_Land_Dancing</a>
