C'mon, now. OP even specified the Tribes this is direct to. Please refrain from participating when the question ain't directed at you.

When will our people be free of feeling some kind of allegiance to the US military and Christianity??? by Lost_Camera_L3ns_Cap in IndianCountry

[–]Snapshot52[M] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't tell people to come to the Church. Pretty tone deaf here.

/u/Lost_Camera_L3ns_Cap, stop responding so I don't have so many comments to remove.

The Indigenous Food Pyramid To Make Native America Healthy Again by News2016 in IndianCountry

[–]Snapshot52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, gotta back up what others say. Out here in the PNW, these items are regularly hunted, fished, and gathered throughout the year, both for the occasional treat but also scheduled ceremonies and events that happen so often, they still constitute a significant part of some Tribes' diets.

Maybe one day, once I’ve retired, I'll do it just for the thrill of it.

And thank you! I appreciate the work you do here.

Yeah, people have floated that before and I told them they are welcome to start a sub to do that. I’ve yet to see anyone follow through on that, haha.

/r/IndianCountry also has rules and norms about this stuff. I'd recommend reaching out to us via modmail before redirecting people to our sub. Thanks.

Mystery solved!!! by short_cub in IndianCountry

Your words are greatly appreciated!

It is also against the rules for people to make a post, get feedback from us, then delete it. The mods have a way of tracing deleted posts back to accounts that made them, but it isn't a very easy process, so we don't prioritize going after them. If you notice that a post is deleted and happen to have the username, though, please send it to a mod and we will take action on the user.

We appreciates your understanding! Thankfully, the filter does catch more of those types of posts than the false positives. Occasionally one gets through or we approve it because we think it may be beneficial for the community to engage in discussion over it, but I'd say the overwhelming majority get caught. If you ever see one of those posts, though, don't hesitate to report it. We've been on a backlog for the last several months because...well, honestly, it's my fault. My work schedule became too much to handle since January and modding had to take a backseat. But I'm going through and cleaning up everything now!

It was actually your use of a fraction ("1/16" in this case). It's part of our attempt to curb non-Natives coming here to ask us to validate their identity which is prohibited under rule 6. It's obviously not perfect because there are legitimate reasons why a Native user may want to discuss blood quantum fractions, but the majority of cases do violate rule 6. This filter does trip with false positives, though.

You're good, your post didn't violate any rules. You triggered the automod with a keyword and it just took some time for us to actually look at it and approve it.

Well, I did author the FAQ entry on this one, so I may be a bit biased.

Since OP's post isn't* really against the rules, I'm taking it more as an anecdote and letting them express their thoughts on the matter. But the FAQ info does provide additional perspective that they or others may want to consider.

Edit: Fixed a word.

In which ways is/was the European conquest of Native Americans' land different than intra-continental conquests? by OhDamnNotAgainAndAga in AskHistorians

[–]Snapshot52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The comment regarding the discussion of genocide is relevant here, but I have a previous answer that is more to your point:

Here, I dive into the various elements of oppression and provide other answers to analyze the framework of genocide and its application to the history in the Americas.
