Ann Coulterโs embarrassing statement issued on July 6th, 2025, on X, that โwe didnโt kill enough Indiansโ is hateful, dangerous, and completely unacceptable. It is genocidal rhetoric that glorifies violence against Indigenous peoples. What makes it even more dangerous is that she used her public platform, one that reaches millions, to spread this message to the world.
With any platform comes responsibility. Ann Coulter chose to use hers to promote hate, to dehumanize Indigenous people, and to repeat the same language and thinking that fueled genocide against our ancestors.
When people with influence use their platform to normalize violence, it emboldens those who harbor hate. It stokes division and it places Indigenous people, and other communities targeted by hate, at greater risk of harm.
Our people know the cost of this kind of thinking. Our ancestors were forced from their homelands. Families were torn apart during the forced boarding school era, and lives were lost, all because of the same mindset Ann Coulter chose to amplify. Yet despite every attempt to erase us, we are still here. We have survived and we have prospered.
We will always defend our sovereignty, our culture, and our identity. Our sovereignty is the foundation of who we are. Our identity has withstood centuries of efforts to destroy it. We are sovereign because we have fought for it. Many Indigenous people served and died in defense of this country, at higher rates of any other group. For Ann Coulter to use her freedom to insult the very people who have sacrificed so much is disgraceful.
We will always speak out when the safety and dignity of our people are threatened. I call on all people, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to speak up when they see hate like this. Do not let it go unanswered. Each one of us has the power to push back against harmful words and actions, to choose respect over hate, and to stand up for what is right.
Together, our voices are stronger than any message of division.
