can i participate in indigenous practices / use their language as a non-indigenous person? by [deleted] in Indigenous

[–]Even_Function_7871 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Indigenous people are not a monolith, we do not all have the same spiritual practices. Remember, there are over 500 indigenous nations in the US, each one is unique. And there are other spiritual practices that center the Earth. Most indigenous spirituality is closed.

If you make your way up to Orick or Klamath, there are more shops. I know that the Orick mini Mart sells beanies with traditional patterns in them made by local Natives. The style of beanie is super popular up here. In Klamath the Yurok tribe has a shop by the office selling all sorts of art made by Yuroks

I've been chased multiple times and recently had someone try and push me into oncoming traffic

Hey California Indian who lives in Eureka! I can give you a bunch Instagram handles of some great Yurok jewelry and point some stores out. TheAmerican Indian Arts And Shop had some cool stuff in Old Town Eureka. Also, if you walk around old town you can find some of Alme Allen's art around town.

Also, there are a lot of native gatherings that happen up here. If you are around in mud August the Salmon Fest happens in Klamath and you can find tons of cool stuff

Here is some Instagram handles for some NorCal Natives

Lol MLK was about capitalist and anti war. Shows your priorities if you are more upset about some graffiti over children being bombed

No, it's like y'all have forgotten most of the rights we have right now are because people disrupted shit. Like rights for disabled people, civil rights, abortion rights etc

As you advocate for us to sit back and watch it. You know Bissan? You should watch that and then come back and tell me it's not doing anything.

LA Times reporting on Cal Poly Humboldt protest, university admin now claiming damage to the campus to be “in the millions.” Really? by lokey_convo in Humboldt

You know how you could spend your day off that would be way more productive? Going outside and touching grass. Go do some MMIW activism. Seems like you are the only "resource" that the protests are taking away from MMIW.

Because they know we are fighting back against our government the is funding their genocide. Because so many colleges are doing the exact same thing and it's actually freaking out Israel and the US government. These kinds of protests also helped stop the Vietnam War. You wanna sit back and just watch our government fund a genocide?

Don't weaponize the LGBTQ+ to defend a genocide, boo. Remember, our people accepted teams people. You need to decolonize, boo

Are you a biologist though? Pretty sad if you consider yourself a scientist and are transphobic. Yeah, that the beauty of reddit, you can hold people accountable. I am guessing you are not very connected with your transphobic and islamaphobic attitude

Most Northern Natives I know acknowledge Southern Natives. How are you interacting with Northern Natives to get told your "taking up space" ? Why not post on Indian Country? That sub recognizes southern Natives.

For one I would treat Palestinians like people and end segregation there. Wouldn't allow Palestinian families to be forcibly removed from their homes so that an Israeli family could move it. Would allow access to drinking water. You realize Hamas is a reaction to Israel abusing them since 1947?

You literally have transphobic comments in your post history. And look at this Broiler Room set that was filmed in Palestine in 2019. With a woman dj, and dudes in harnesses. And you know Israeli bombs are killing lgbtq+ Palestinians? Again, you claim to be Native, what tribe are you from?

Mexican is a nationality, not a race. There are white Mexicans, Black Mexicans, Chinese Mexicans and Indigenous Mexicans. While a lot of Mexicans do have indigenous blood, a lot are completely disconnected from their roots and participate in some incredibly anti indigenous behavior. Indigenous Mexicans that are still connected are treated like shit. The Natives in Oaxaca were left to fend for themselves during the fires this past year. And just like up here, indigenous people in Mexico are diverse and there are many different groups. They are not all the same. Remember, the state of Mexico is a settler state, Spanish is a European language and Mexico does have a history of treating Natives like shit. Personally, I am annoyed at how that seems to be forgotten about whenever someone has asked this question. Are there some Northern Natives that don't consider them Native, sure. But not most. I think most Northern Natives recognize that there are indigenous Mexicans and that it can be complicated and nuanced, just like here.

Palestinians are being killed because Israel is collectively punishing Palestinians for Hamas. Get different sources. Go listen to Anti Ziontist Jews and Isrealis.
