New blog: presentation on Decolonization at @MAPS Psychedelic Science conf. While I was grateful to speak & share, I was def on the fringes. My presentation was a critical examination of colonization & its ongoing impact on Indigenous Peoples... christinemccleave.com/f/summ…

Indigenous peoples hold 80% of the world’s remaining biodiversity. We are the canary in the mine of humanity. Yet just as we aren’t at the world’s decision-making tables on climate crisis, we are an afterthought in the drafting of the #IRA - the first major U.S. ā€œclimateā€ bill.

All I can think about is my daughter and her future. How do I explain a country that won’t protect her from guns at school but has made her a second class citizen w/o personal bodily autonomy #RoeVsWade

The GOP Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade is about one thing: Imposing Christian Nationalism. Period. #Dobbs #RoeVsWade

And the ruling is in. America is officially rewinding the clocks back to 1950s. Row v. Wade has been overturned. Woman will die and more kids will end up in poverty. Just as some ā€œpeopleā€ would supposedly want. #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights #abortionishealthcare #RoeVsWade

Good news for truth and healing ✨
Advocates believe the Truth and Healing Commission can help Native communities heal from trauma experienced at boarding schools by investigating what happened. indiancountrytoday.com/news/…
ā€œThis is really personal for me. As a descendant of boarding school survivors, I worked for 6 years to advocate for truth, justice & healing. I feel like this report is very validating for survivors & descendants to have the federal govt acknowledge thatā€ voanews.com/amp/native-ameri…

We talked about @Interior's investigation with @RealBNewland, @profkphillips and @C_McCleave last summer on @1a: the1a.org/segments/native-am… The first report is out today. So far they've found that more than 500 children died at 19 schools, though that number is expected to grow.

I’m relieved to see this report. Crying happy tears. The result of many peoples’ efforts. Countless prayers. It’s only volume 1 so more to come, but it unequivocally says the U.S. had a devestating policy of genocide and assimilation. nativenewsonline.net/current…

He called us savages. He owned slaves. He killed our people. The #Haudenosaunee and other Nations called him the "Town Destroyer." We do not celebrate your #PresidentsDay. #LandBack #CultureBack #EverythingBack
