All the money in #Arizona cannot buy authentic culture in #Scottsdale #Arizona yet dozens of real native communities survive and exist alongside this colonial embarrassment of an outpost that still caricaturizes and commoditizes real existing indigenous cultures and peoples. It reminds me of how the National Park Service had no qualms forcing Havasupai out of their Settlements in Grand Canyon Village, the ORIGINAL Stewards, but exhibited the uncanny desire to see the Grand Canyon as pristine untouched wilderness that needed to be saved...but saw no value in fighting for, protecting and preserving a culture that has thrived in the Grand Canyon probably for at least 1,000 years!? I could go on all day about how angry I am against the Western Vulture, but then I'll just continue to get more pissed! I'll post some more Cigar Chiefs guarding the White Man's Southwestern Trinkets here soon! 😬 . #cigarchief #woodenindian #native #nativeamerican #indigenous #nativelands #illegaloccupation #unitedstatesofamerica (at Scottsdale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmhoRyeSEkH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌾 Happy National Native American Day! 🌟

Today, we honor and celebrate the rich traditions, cultures, and remarkable accomplishments of the diverse Native American tribes. 🌄 It's a day to acknowledge the contributions of the indigenous peoples who have been an integral part of our nation's history. 🌿

Let's take a moment to appreciate their deep connection to the land, their beautiful artistry, and their enduring wisdom that continues to inspire us. 🏞️

As we commemorate this day, let's also recognize the importance of preserving and respecting their traditions, lands, and rights. Together, we can foster greater understanding and appreciation for the Native American heritage. 🌎

Second “hike” back after breaking my ankle in November. We opted for the ADA trail along the river rather than the slightly more ambitious Mount Garfield, but maybe next week? — 📍On the lands of the Snoqualmie people. — #nativelands #snoqualmie #mountains #rivers #winter #valley #hiking #adventure #rehab #brokenankle #blueskies #washington #middlefork #pnw #pacificnorthwest #garfield #ihatemondays #snow #cold #outdoors #outdoorslife #home #itfeelsgood (at Middle Fork Snoqualmie) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm_8GmfJWaN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I became a Canadian citizen today, nineteen years after I left my home-country, fourteen years since I first landed in Canada 😭 I actually cried during my oath (which I really wasn't expecting, but I guess this all makes sense). During the ceremony, the judge spoke at length about it being Indigenous History Month, explicitly naming the historic and ongoing violence towards Indigenous peoples of these lands, inviting us as soon-to-be citizens to think through the question of reconciliation with regards to the privilege of living on these territories. The judge also spoke about it being Pride month, which also struck a meaningful chord. As my first act as a Canadian citizen, I want to publicly recant the first 25 words of my citizenship oath. I disavow the words that ask me to "be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Her Successors." In doing so, I hope to honour the resistance of my ancestors and my family, as well as my own convictions and values. In this new journey, I hope to keep contributing meaningfully to the places, people, communities & milieus where I have made a home 🇨🇦🇲🇺🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #citizenship #citizen #canadian #canada #unceded #nativeland #immigration #immigrant #decolonize #lgbtq #lgbt #lgbtq+ #trans #transgender #femme #queer #mauritian #artist (at Moncton, New Brunswick) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cezbc9hLjj4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My grandmother gave me a stone

Poetry by Jude: In the Eye of a Colonizer - Poems About Love & Raising Your Consciousness My land is not your land It’s only my land To the Gulf Stream waters To the down trotted alleyways This land is not made for you and me So I will take it and I will kill your people In the name of me and your blood I will spill on my steeple Because the god I worship wants me to kill It gives him energy and it’s a thrill To watch his puppet of mastery All down to his classery Of simple fuckery In the land he’s driven in the muckery But I’m a robot and at his command I’ll spill the blood of the people all over the land So Mother Earth will roar and tear them down all over again And we can again watch them become slaves and teach them of sin For this energy I harvest is stronger in chaos And all is gathered, nothing ever lost What shall we make them believe today They won’t remember anyway https://judedreams.com/f/poetry-by-jude-in-the-eye-of-a-colonizer #poetry #poet #poems #jude #love #starseed #love #colonization #landback #colonizer #nativeland https://www.instagram.com/p/CmJ3LXrLo46/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is an iPhone composition taken with an #iphonesegen3 of a culvert nestled between cookie-cut stucco HOA communities by #RedMountain and it heads off into the distance towards the #SuperstitionMountainWilderness like a #vanishingpoint. Yes, I've got nice cameras but I'm back to square one taking shots with a few iPhones too between short rideshare driving breaks... I returned this phone though and opted for the iPhone 13 Mini instead and transferred the image over to my 14 Max Pro for this artistic edit. . Taking photos wherever I'm at with any given time no matter how busy I get is paramount for getting back in my original groove. I've always been fascinated with #iPhonography and I didn't allow #Instagram to completely murder that vibe. I've always been on the hunt for a perfect #tinttype old time look for my digital images and the iPhone allows me to get back to basics. The most important camera you have is the one that is with you all the time... . Imagine a reptilian humanoid walking down this path in the middle of the night with the outlying communities unaware of the Unknown things that exist!? . #superstitionmountains #undergroundalienbase #sacrednativelands #nativelands #apachelands #pimalands #saltrivermaricopa #gilarivertribe #nativeamerica #originalturtleisland (at Superstition Wilderness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmdJ9E4reY0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
