Notice: I am NOT suggesting non-Indigenous, non-BIPOC people post with most of these hashtags. Follow, ally, educate yourself, etc. but don’t appropriate is always good advice for allies.

"European colonizers actively tried
to destroy the Indigenous culture
and replace it with their own.
Language was a part of this." #quote
colonizers had to force
our ancestors
to think and perceive reality
in their language
in order for us
to accept
their vile ideology
Indigenous languages were the carriers of over 100,000 years
of collective knowledge
they were verb based
no illusions
no abstractions
no euphemisms
no obfuscation
leaves you with clear communication
"I think the english language
should be completely eliminated from the continent
because it has erased Indigenous ways of thinking" #quote
forcing colonized people
to speak the language
of their oppressors
is a form of thought control
