support all indigenous people

- support indigenous people you’re hearing about for the first time - support black indigenous people - support all dark-skinned indigenous people, mixed or not - support indigenous people who are disconnected from their roots and are only now rediscovering them - support indigenous people who arent white-passing or mixed with white - support multiracial indigenous people - support indigenous people who are mixed with white but refuse to identify with that part of their heritage - support all indigenous people regardless if they speak their tribal/native language, whether they live on their land or not, whether they know a lot of their heritage or not

Unknown Artist (Anyone know who made this?)

So the first time I saw this mural I was happy to see some art in my neighborhood (that wasn’t removed by the authorities) but two nights later I found out this had been put up by the #Flatbush and Nostrand Junction #BusinessImprovementDevelopment or #BID. I have had bad experiences with #BIDs across #NYC so my thoughts are biased but damn it sucks that nobody in the Junction community (that I asked) knew that this was unfolding in our neighborhood —many of us did notice some construction work and new lam posts, but no idea of the reasons behind it. So my question is how can the unknown key players actively involved in the decision-making process of the Flatbush/Nostrand Junction BID intend to improve and ‘beautify’ my community if they haven’t even asked me or non (or very few) of my fellow neighbors what that means for us?!! -_-’ I just hope I don’t see any of the long-time businesses or tenants pushed out of their locales&homes. #rantsaboutthechangesinmycommunity (at The Junction - Flatbush/Nostrand)

We are waves. We are one.

we’re all interconnected by the beauty and surreal power of our Mother Earth. 

We do not heal the past by dwelling there; we heal the past by living fully in the present.

Malala Yousafzai is a true freedom fighter. This is truly inspirational to our world, hoping this stirs our communities all around.

BREAKING: Malala Yousafzai Wins Nobel Peace Prize

Malala, now 17, was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman two years ago in her home country of Pakistan after coming to prominence for her campaigning for education for girls.

She won for what the Nobel committee called her “heroic struggle” for girls’ right to an education.

She is the youngest ever winner of the prize. (x)
