#Cole Brings Plenty
Text
Just a reminder for people cause I haven't seen many peope posting about it:
If you can, please braid your hair today (4/8/24) in honor of Cole Brings Plenty. Cole was a Lakota actor who was assaulted and had his hair cut. Shortly after, he went missing and was later found dead. It's likely that he was murdered, though details haven't been released yet. Rising Hearts has asked that everyone, indigenous or not, wear braids to honor him and remember those that have suffered the same.
If you can't braid your hair, then share posts of others!
Now is also a good time to share some support to indigenous charities, if you're able

Please pray and raise awareness for Cole Brings Plenty, a Lakota actor and student. He was found on april 5th. This is such an awful and cruel act of violence, im having a hard time finding the words.

I know I don’t have a large following. I know this post will get lost in the sea of other posts. I know I don’t come on here often, and when I do I try to keep my page free from death and other serious topics. Yet, I think this is imperative to say, especially since I myself am of indigenous descent. I ask all of you to join me in solidarity.
Cole Brings Plenty, actor, model, and most importantly activist was found dead. He was assaulted in a club in Lawrence, Kansas. He was killed and his braids; a symbol of his heritage, of his Lakota decent, and a sacred symbol across many an indigenous nation, were forcibly cut.
I beg of thee and I plead with thee, spread the word. Do your part, however big or little, to bring light to this situation. Whether it be by reblogging this post or others alike, or by going out and making a stand. Do it.
Shed light on the situation. This goes beyond the death of one man. It is about the abuse and the destruction of natives and their communities. Of the killing of many an innocent soul. Of the brutalization of many First Nations.
We have seen time and time again, many indigenous people die by similar means. We need to bring light on the deaths of any and all indigenous individuals dead, missing or at risk. It is an epidemic, an assault, and a silent cleansing of many a nation.
Whether it be the estimated 6,000 dead at the hands of Canadian residential schools, the murdered and missing indigenous women and children, or the killing of an actor and activist, you cannot deny the sheer abhorrence of this problem. The problem of many Native American people dying, going missing and being abused, at an alarming rate. At a level unprecedented and unparalleled, at a level of which should not be kept silent.
Cole Brings Plenty, actor, model, activist.
Look at him and spread awareness for him and for many others befallen by the same fate.
Remember him. Remember all of the others. Let nobody else befall the same fate again.

On Monday, April 8th, wear your braids. Show your braids. Indigenous or not, wear a braid, wear 2 braids, wear many. We wear braids as a community for Cole Brings Plenty and his family. For all indigenous peoples with braids. For the many, past and present, whose braids were cut and attacked. If you don't have hair to braid, share others posts or this post on Monday.

Our hair is sacred. Braids are sacred. Connects us to our ancestors, to community, to ceremony.

When he was found, his hair had been cut off.
Hair in Native cultures is believed to be an extension of the self, as well as a connection to the earth.
Even to his death, they took away his personhood. His hair that connected him to his Indigenous roots.
RIP Cole Brings Plenty

What really gets me about Cole Brings Plenty's murder is that the murderer cut off his hair :( even in death he could not be granted dignity.

Cole Brings Plenty (an indigenous actor) was killed at age 27 with his braid cut off. Hair in Indigenous culture is sacred ,we know he loved his Braids, only the Indigenous person should choose to cut their braid
Indigenous lives are in need so please commemorate him, spread the message and donate to indigenous charities

Stop spreading misinformation about Cole Brings Plenty's death. We don't know if he was murdered or if it was suicide or a kidnapping or anything. The family and police specifically have released no information about the investigation except that they found him.
That's the last of the official news, full stop: that they found him at all.
Everything else is speculation and not fact. The Brings Plenty family specifically asked for privacy while they grieve and work with investigators, which includes not speculating or rumor-mongering. And spreading misinformation is always bad.
The situation can be tragic and horrifying without making stuff up.
This post from ICT News has all of the latest official info and some family statements. Anything outside that is speculation.

Literally sit down and be respectful during this time, please. Especially if you are not Native, don't be spreading rumors about Native deaths.
Support causes for missing and murdered Indigenous people and Native people's right to self expression like braids. Cole's communities have explicitly asked for that kind of support.
UPDATE: More misinformation and fraud. This is from the family released via Lakota Times.

Do not buy anything, give anyone money, or sell anything related to Cole. There are scams going around and the family hasn't approved any merchandise.

Hey, fun fact! See this young man? He was found dead in a forest. They chopped his hair off while he was intoxicated and tossed him in a forest. He was murdered. The media says there was "no foul play" surrounding his death, too. His name was Cole Brings Plenty, and he was murdered at age 27. Murdered. Stop covering it up. Stop lying to protect the people involved. They killed him.
