#nativerights — Public Fediverse posts

After watching politics for a few decades, I now have a strong negative reaction to every suggestion that a new sports arena will/should/could be built, like this announcement (first pic) that the San Antonio Spurs want a new one. The history of major league #sports stadiums in the #usa is a shitshow of #corruption and theft.

The worst case I personally know (because I live in Western NY): In 2002, Buffalo and WNY residents rejected Hochul's request for $600M for a new #BuffaloBills stadium. A few very rich people really wanted that stadium (they got sweetheart deals for concessions, etc.), so she broke the law to appropriate "shared" funds from the Seneca Nation of Indians.

The conquest did not end. Occupation did not end. And I will not attend any events in that fucking stadium, even if I think #TheBills are about as cool as an #NFL team can be.

(Subtext: NY State is "blue" in particular ways. After I moved here one of my friends said that NY governors have a "D" by their name but you don't get elected NY Governor unless you behave like a mafia boss)

#Museum & Cultural Center of the North will teach #Minnesotans - #Indigenous & non-Indigenous, about #rights guaranteed to #TribalMembers today, starting w/ones established in #1855Treaty which applies to land that includes #ParkRapids .

The new museum is partly an extension of the #movement against the #Line3 project. Indigenous #PipelineOpponents - #WaterProtectors, argued the pipeline violates their rights to #HuntFishGather on their #AncestralLand .
