Hey it's big game day, since the Chiefs are playing, here is your reminder the American Indian (yes that is a preferred term) is tired of your shit.
“But Lee, what about Native American?” we don't use Colored, or Negro anymore either but you could do much worse. Times change, but maybe ask them what they want to be called, then learn how to pronounce it.
I live on Duwamish land, part of the Coast Salish villages, “Chief Seattle’s” peoples land, they spoke “Lushootseed” which there are no longer any first language speakers.
I have read word for word 3 treaties of local tribes in the last 2 years and it should be more widely known how the government failed each of those tribes, and still does.
We share this land, we should remember that. #AmericanIndian #indignouspeople
