Heritage Easements: A Tribal Lever
New Jersey’s Nanticoke Lenni‑Lenape lack legal standing in county zoning, a bottleneck that lets development erase cultural sites.
A cultural easement—permanent deed restriction—lets the tribe lock in ceremonial access while banning incompatible builds.

Food Sovereignty Revenue & One‑Stop Hub for the Shawnee Tribe

A Food Sovereignty Revenue Ordinance would place a modest surcharge on non‑tribal food businesses operating on ancestral Shawnee land in West Virginia, directing proceeds to a community health fund for diabetes prevention and maternal health—mirroring municipal sugary‑drink taxes that fund health programs.

Riverfront Sovereignty: Turning Miami Trust Lands into a Tribal Procurement Engine

The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma holds scattered trust parcels along the Wabash River. A tribal ordinance could require any business leasing riverfront land within 10 miles of those parcels to source at least 15 % of food, beverages or event supplies from tribally certified vendors.

They "bring democracy" to the whole world, while we "invade" our own territory 🤡

Revolving Youth Loan Fund & Cooperative Purchasing for Little River Band

The Little River Band of Ottawa Indians sits beside the Manistee River in the western part of the state, where seasonal aquaculture and river‑based tourism create a niche for youth‑led enterprises that keep profits on‑reservation and reinforce land‑based sovereignty.

Ryan Brune: "There are four possible paths for the future of Puerto Rico:
1) Statehood
2) Independence
3) Free Association (Independence lite)
4) Status Quo
Puerto Ricans should vote for the path that most of them prefer."

People sometimes ask me what I fear.

It isn't monsters. It isn't failure. It isn't even hardship. I've survived enough of that to know it passes.

What I truly fear is losing my agency.

I fear not being free to decide my own path. I fear other people making decisions about my life without ever stopping to ask what I need, what I want, or who I am. I fear being pushed, coerced, or cornered into living someone else's idea of a life.

Freedom, to me, isn't doing whatever I please. It's having the dignity to choose. To say "yes" because I mean it, and "no" because I mean that too.

Take away that choice, and you don't merely inconvenience me.

You take away a piece of who I am.

#SelfDetermination

Selbstbestimmung beginnt dort, wo wir Entscheidungen nicht sofort danach bewerten, ob sie unserem Weltbild entsprechen.

Self-determination begins where we stop judging decisions solely by whether they fit our worldview.

Résistance palestinienne, droit international et occupation illégale
