The Land Remembers. Do We? 🌲
Before borders. Before governments. Before anyone else—this was Native land.
The Cherokee. The Navajo. The Lakota. The Haudenosaurats. Countless nations thrived here for thousands of years, stewarding the earth with respect and wisdom.
Then came broken promises.
Treaties signed and shattered. Lands stolen. Peoples displaced. Sacred grounds desecrated.
But the fight isn't over.
Indigenous leaders across the nation are asking: Should stolen Native lands be returned?
Because returning land means:
💚 Honoring sacred commitments
💚 Protecting Mother Earth
💚 Restoring tribal self-determination
💚 Healing generations of injustice
💚 Building a respectful future
This is about accountability. This is about justice. This is about what we owe to the people who were here first.

CHACO CANYON: 70,000+ VOICES DEMANDING PROTECTION 🏜️
Over 70,000 public comments filed in ONE WEEK. The message is clear: Hands OFF sacred Chaco Canyon.
The Trump administration is planning to withdraw protections from oil and gas development around Chaco, prompting massive community response (Native American Rights Fund) .
But tribal nations and allies won't stay silent.
What's at stake:
⚡ Sacred burial grounds
⚡ Ancient Ancestral Puebloan sites
⚡ Tribal sovereignty
⚡ Environmental devastation
Tribal leaders and New Mexico officials are united: We will oppose this.
Your voice matters too. Keep the pressure on. Share. Comment. Demand protection for sacred lands.

They took the children… should this EVER be allowed?
Most people skip this part of history…
But they shouldn’t.
For families from the Sioux Nation, the pain wasn’t just land being taken…
It was their children.
At one point, Native children were removed from their homes and sent far away.
Places like the Carlisle Indian Industrial School were created for this purpose.
They said it was education.
But the reality was different.
Children were forced to change.
Their hair was cut.
Their names were replaced.
Their language was forbidden.
If they spoke their own words…
they were punished.
Families waited…
hoping to see their children again.
Some did.
Some never did.
And even those who returned…
were no longer the same.
This wasn’t just schooling.
It was the removal of identity.
And the effects didn’t end there.
They carried forward for generations.
So here’s the real question:
Should any system have the power
to change a child’s identity without consent?

This isn’t old news…
It’s still happening.
For communities like the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center, this is a crisis that hasn’t stopped.
Across multiple regions…
cases of missing Indigenous women continue to raise concern.
Families are searching.
Communities are speaking.
Voices are getting louder.
📍 In places like Montana and South Dakota, awareness efforts are increasing — but many believe it’s still not enough.
Because behind every case…
there’s a family waiting.
Waiting for answers.
Waiting for justice.
Waiting for closure.
Some stories gain attention.
Many don’t.
And that’s where the real concern begins.
This issue is known as MMIW
(Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women).
And for many communities…
it’s not just a topic.
It’s personal.
It’s painful.
It’s ongoing.
This is not just about the past.
It’s about what is happening right now.
Now stop and think…
If lives are being overlooked…
should silence ever be an option?

📢 "SPEAK"
🤐 "SILENT"

Hollow Horn Bear was a Brule Lakota leader who fought in many of the battles of the Sioux Wars, including the Battle of Little Big Horn.
Known as Matihehlogego to his people, he was born in Sheridan County, Nebraska in March 1850. When he was just 16 years old, he accompanied a band led by his father against Pawnee Indians who they fought on the present site of Genoa, Nebraska. Two years later, in 1868, he joined a band of Brulé in an attack on United States troops in Wyoming, and later in another battle near the Crow Agency in Montana. The following year he participated in a raid on railroad workers who were constructing the Union Pacific Railroad.
Later, he became the captain of the police force at the Rosebud Agency in South Dakota. During his tenure, he arrested his predecessor, Crow Dog, for the murder of Spotted Tail. Five years later he resigned and was appointed as a second lieutenant under Agent Spencer, but was compelled to resign on account of ill health.
He also became a key speaker and negotiator for the Sioux, making multiple trips to Washington, D.C. to advocate on their behalf. When General George Crook was sent with a commission to Rosebud in 1889, the chief was involved in peace negotiations.
In 1905, Hollow Horn Bear was invited to take part in the presidential inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt at Washington D.C. In 1913, he led a group of Indians to the inauguration parade of President Woodrow Wilson. While he was there he caught pneumonia and died on March 15, 1913.
