Very good news for the #Freedmen of the #Muskogee / #Creek Nation.
Now it is time for the #Chickasaw, and #Choctaw nations to grant their Freedmen citizenship rights, and for the #Seminole nation to lift their freedmen citizens from their current second-class citizenship status.

"Join Michael in his discussion with Professor #JusteneHillEdwards about her powerful new book, #SavingsAndTrust: The Rise and Betrayal of the Freedman's Bank. Created after the Civil War, the #FreedmansBank was where tens of thousands of formerly enslaved people placed their savings only to have them stolen by corrupt white bankers."

Book talk
"On February 10, 2025, historian #JusteneHillEdwards, was in conversation with Rethinking Schools editor Jesse Hagopian. They discussed Edwards’ book, "#SavingsAndTrust: The Rise and Betrayal of the #FreedmansBank", a comprehensive account of the Freedman’s Bank and its depositors"

Very appreciative of the #Cherokee Nation of #Oklahoma pushing so hard to ensure that the #Freedmen (descendants of formerly enslaved people w ho now are citizens of the tribe) enjoy equal protection under the law. This is such a marked change from the past.

Good news but unfortunately the Muskogee Nation AG says he will be appealing the decision to the Muskogee Suprem Court.
Sad that this litigation is necessary to ensure that the Muskogee Nation honors its treaty obligations to the descendants of those formerly enslaved by the nation, the Freedmen.
Unfortunately the Muskogee Nation like several other tribal nations in Oklahoma is still drinking the Kool-Aid of racism.

The excellent St Louis Library Past Portals topic this month is the Freedmen's Bureau. If you have any former enslaved persons in your family check it out. @geneadons #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Enslaved #AfricanAmericanHistory #Freedmen

Start 2023 out right, follow a #Native #Indigenous person on #Mastodon today, now!
Even better follow 5 or 10 or 20.
Or best choice, follow every #Native #Indigenous person you can find!
Shout out hashtags:

A lot of non-Natives fear #LandBack, concerned Native gov'ts would treat them the same way Colonial gov'ts treat Natives.
Truth be told though, #LandBack would be the best thing to ever happen to Natives and non-Natives.
#LandBack is best for everyone, and especially the planet itself.

How do you say your non-profit organization has all white leadership, mostly white management, and a high degree of white culture permeating the whole organization, without saying it directly?
Say: Our mission is to the inner city...

So there are what, over 11K Mastodon instances & less than 20 BIPOC-owned instances?!?
Correct me if these numbers are wrong. This is totally unscientific, just a perception of North America.
Update: It would be interesting to see estimates for non-North American instances & BIPOC-ownership.
I guess there is no need for a #WhiteMastodon hashtag, the whole #Fediverse is almost all white dominated.

What I hear:
Ok, now all you Indians and Black folk, just go hide & assimilate yourselves among the white people in the fediverse. No sense in making yourselves targets. The whiter the fediverse becomes, the better. No single instance owner should have the power to limit whiteness.What I say:
Drop dead, whiteness needs to go bye-bye. Power to ALL people, not just the colonizer class.#BIPOC #Native #Indigenous #NDN #Freedmen #NativeMastodon #IndigenousMastodon #FreedmenMastodon

Will Mastodon become just the newest chapter of colonizers & enslavers controlling & dominating Native/Indigenous/BIPOC people?I believe it will NOT, but if racists & trolls isolate #BIPOC instances, it won't be the first time for Native/Indigenous/BIPOC people or the last, likely.
I know on Mvskoke.social & a network of other Native/Indigenous/BIPOC instances, we are safe & will prosper.

Coincidentally at the same time my son @jeremiah said he was thinking of starting a hip-hop instance Rap.social.I stopped harboring thoughts & https://Mvskoke.social became a reality as an all Native/Indigenous instance.
Mvskoke.social will probably always be a small special interest instance. The important thing is as Native/Indigenous people, we are in control of our own digital lands.

When Musk bought Twitter, I was troubled with its direction & morally concerned that my usage implied support of a pro-Racist, pro-Nazi business.I began to harbor thoughts of hosting my own instance. When I heard about Indg.club a Native-owned & populated instance, I jumped & immediately signed up.

I only know of 4 Native/Indigenous/BIPOC owned Mastodon server/instances.
https://Mvskoke.social
https://Rap.social
https://Indg.club
https://Elekk.xyzThere must be more, right?
There must be Black-owned instances out there, right?!?!?Anyone know of any?
Mastodon is very white, this needs to change.

What you boost, who you follow & what they boost, & the general type of users & what they boost on the instance you are on determine everything.
In my opinion, this makes the case for #BIPOC clustering on their own instances.
Boosting makes your world, & also brings more like-minded followers with regularity, & in greater amounts than other social media.

Blood quantum is suicidal, frankly.
Mvskoke Nation has a lineal descent to a relative on the Dawes Rolls requirement, which seems sensible to me. Other Nations that use blood quantum, I don't know... maybe they need to take a math class?
We know BQ is colonizer designed with a very specific desired result. It just seems foolish for a Native Nation to make sure paper genocide finishes the job...

If you are Native/Indigenous, put your Native/Indigenous Nation in your bio.
We'll find each other easier. #JustSayin
