Very worth reading❤️
Actor, film director, film producer and musician Keanu Charles Reeves (Keanu Charles Reeves),
Missed the first 20 minutes of the party dedicated to the end of filming of his new movie at one of the clubs in New York.
He waited patiently in the rain to be let in.
No one recognized him.
❤️Get your t-shirt: https://nativerites.com//vote-as-if-your-skin-is-not-white-human-s-rights
The club owner said: “I didn't even know Keanu was standing in the rain waiting to get in - he didn't say anything to anyone.”
"He travels by public transport."
"He easily communicates with homeless people on the streets and helps them."
- He was only 60 years old (September 2, 1964)
- He can only eat hot dogs in the park, sitting among normal people.
- After filming one of the "Matrix", he gave all the stuntmen a new motorcycle - in recognition of their skills.
- He gave up most of the salaries of the costume designers and computer scientists who drew the special effects on "The Matrix" - deciding that their share of the film's budget was assessed short.
- He reduced his salary for the movie "The Devil's Advocate" to have enough money to invite Al Pacino.
- Almost at the same time his best friend passed away; His girlfriend lost a child and soon died in a car accident, and his sister suffered from leukemia.
Keanu didn't fail: he donated $5 million to the clinic that treated his sister, refused to be filmed (to be with her), and founded the Leukemia Foundation, donating significant amounts from each fee for the movie.
You may have been born a man, but stay a man..

Incredible discovery! A 73-year-old man, Ernie LaPointe, has been confirmed as the great-grandson of the legendary Sitting Bull. Science supports his family history, revealing that the DNA of this iconic Lakota leader lives on in him and his three sisters. Ernie grew up burdened by his mother's revelation, but his life was marked by a struggle with addiction.
A team of researchers, led by geneticist Eske Willerslev, used an innovative technique to analyze a lock of Sitting Bull's hair and confirm his relationship. The results are overwhelming: Ernie LaPointe is, without a doubt, Sitting Bull's great-grandson! This discovery highlights the importance of Indigenous heritage and how science can rescue forgotten stories. A historical connection that transcends time!

In the silence of the frozen earth, where the mountains stand as eternal witnesses, warriors gather not just to hunt—but to honor tradition, unity, and the wisdom of their ancestors. Every footprint in the snow tells a story of survival, courage, and brotherhood. Strength is not only in the weapon, but in the spirit that guides it. ❄️🏹

Why Isn’t This Map in the History Books?
By the age of 10, most children in the United States have been taught all 50 states that make up the country. But centuries ago, the land that is now the United States was a very different place. Over 20 million Native Americans dispersed across over 1,000 distinct tribes, bands, and ethnic groups populated the territory.
History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It’s not yours for you to erase or destroy.

“With school starting back up soon. PLEASE TEACH YOUR CHILDREN NOT TO TEASE THAT LITTLE INDIGENOUS BOY WITH LONG HAIR! Teach your children the significance of long hair to prevent him from wanting to cut his hair because he"s being bullied, having long hair has no gender! Braids are a symbol of strength, wisdom, and are something that reflects his identity. To that little indigenous boy with braids be proud of it because that was something your grandfathers couldn"t have in residential school. In fact the first thing that happened to them was to have their braid cut off. So remember these things the next time someone is teasing a boy about their hair. Adults if you see or hear it stand up for him and stop it. They are not teasing him because something is wrong with him, they are doing it because something is wrong with THEM. Kids see you, a parent as an idol, the way you act reflects back on to your kids actions. If you’re a bully, then your kids a bully. Teach them what’s right from wrong. Simple as that. A healthy mind does not speak ill of others 👏🏽👏🏽✊🏽”

Protect what’s sacred.

On July 21st, 1979 Jay Silverheels, became the first Indigenous Native to have a star commemorated on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Harold Jay Smith, was a full-blooded Mohawk, born May 26th,1912 on the Six Nations Indian Reservation in Ontario, Canada.
He excelled in athletics, most notably in lacrosse.
In 1931 he was among the first players chosen to play for the Toronto Tecumsehs, where he earned the nickname "Silverheels".
And in 1997 he was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame as a veteran player.
In 1938, he placed second in the middleweight class of the Golden Gloves tournament.
This led to his working in motion pictures as an extra and stuntman in 1937.
Billed variously as Harold Smith and Harry Smith, before taking the name Jay Silverheels.
He appeared in low-budget features, mostly Westerns, and serials before landing his much loved and iconic role as Tonto on national tv from 1949 until 1957 along with two movies.
In the early 1960s, he was a founding member of the Indian Actors Workshop, in Echo Park, Los Angeles. Where Native actors refine their skills.
Today the workshop is still a well established institution.
Silverheels died on March 5, 1980, from stroke, at age 67, in Calabasas, California. He was cremated at Chapel of the Pines Crematory, and his ashes were returned to the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario

Snow keeps falling like it wants to erase names,
but her braid is a long rope of time
and it does not break.

Pines bend under white weight,
branches lowered like quiet elders,
and the trail narrows to one honest line
through the cold.

She stands at the edge of the path,
blanket pulled tight, patterns loud against winter,
as if color itself is a refusal
to disappear.

Her face holds every season it survived,
creases like river maps,
eyes sharp enough to read distance
through the snowfall.

Behind her, riders come slow,
horses breathing steam into the air,
boots and hooves finding the same track
she once learned by heart.

They follow her without asking,
not because she speaks the most,
but because she has already paid
for every lesson the storm teaches.

The forest tries to make everything silent,
yet the snow still tells on them
with each step,
each soft crackle,
each promise of movement.

She does not turn away from the cold.
She turns toward the ones behind her
and lets her gaze do the work.

If fear shows up, it won’t find a home here.
If doubt shows up, it will have to stand
outside the blanket’s edge.

Winter can take heat.
It can take daylight.
But it cannot take direction
from someone who remembers.

So they ride on,
not chasing glory,
just chasing safety,
just chasing the next sheltering trees.

And the trail stays open
because she is still standing there,
looking back,
making sure nobody gets lost.
