I think you may be lost.

Native Americans are self-deporting in record numbers, totally FED UP with Canada and their terrible management! They’re moving to great, beautiful places that know how to WIN. Smart move! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

It's the renaming of the gulf of Mexico all over again

If they don't like it, they should go back to where they came from. With as much force as necessary.

Not surprised at all

Taking back the country, bit by bit.

I would take no jobs and no mains water very happily for land that cheap. A single acre of woodland here, so you can't farm there either, costs tens of thousands. Even in the remote parts of the country.

Its great that they can get it though.

The US has large areas with very cheap land. The problem is that there are generally no jobs in the area, and the land doesn't come with water rights, so you can't make a living as a farmer.

In this case, it's a group of people getting to buy back land that was stolen from them during California's genocidal phase.

Wish I could buy land to live on at that kinda rate. Or even just to enjoy it and let wildflowers grow! In the UK its orders of magnitude more expensive.

Unlike the misconception that Indigenous fire knowledge is rooted solely in tradition, it is rarely static and evolves with changing conditions including climate change. Communities combine generations of lived experience with scientific research to understand shifting wildfire patterns, adapt cultural burning practices, and restore healthier, more resilient forests.

The article is chock-full of information about the hows and whys, if you're interested in learning more.

Maybe for the old climate but the world is different every day now.

Tilsen denied he attempted to hit the officer. Rather, he said he was there to observe Glass's interaction with Mario. “I’m just pulling into a parking spot,” Tilsen says in the body camera footage. “I’m just making sure you ain’t fuckin harassing people, man.”

Ultimately, Tilsen was released that evening. A warrant for his arrest wasn’t issued until over a year later, on a conspicuous date. Tilsen was charged with two felonies, including aggravated assault on a police officer, four days before a protest his organization had planned against racism within the Rapid City Police Department.

Yeah, but you expect it from Oklahoma. New York State is just a little surprising.

Re: your edit #1, this is far upstate NY, near the Canadian town of Cornwall. I've visited a bit west of there, in Jefferson County, New York (south of Gananoque, Ontario) and by golly it was chockful of MAGA signs. NY is more than the NYC, Albany and Buffalo metro areas, but since most people live there, that's what tends to dictate state policy. Despicable behaviour like that in the article towards Indigenous residents tends to happen at the fringes, unfortunately making it easy to miss from afar.

jesus

It took until 2025 for Oklahoma to pass legislation prohibiting teachers from hitting kids with disabilities. Still allowed to hit other children, they just finally came around to the idea that you can't paddle the autism out of a kid.

What the actual hell?? I saw this article earlier and thought it was like... a historical thing that happened. Not LAST YEAR. What the fuck

EDIT: this was in New York. Everyone loves to act like New England is so progressive but what the fuck is this?? Also - the staff members who built the fucking boxes have not been fired. Those motherfuckers should never be allowed to work with children again.

EDIT 2: Here is a link to their Board of Education and the corresponding email address.

When existence of the boxes was first revealed in a social media post in December, the school district responded by placing staff members on administrative leave and removing the wooden crates, while initially describing them as "calming stations."

While the state report has not yet been made public, Stanley confirmed that it includes a long list of violations that require correction, including "the use of seclusion" and "improper physical restraints."

Some parents told NPR they don't believe these reforms go far enough. Herne noted the district has yet to issue a formal apology. She also said the state education department isn't requiring dismissal of "ten to twelve" staff and faculty members involved in approving, constructing and using the wooden boxes.

this is absolutely devastating, the pattern of colonisation never changes 💔

I clicked before I read the title fully and, like you, I thought this was from 1860 or something. What the fuck.

I have never really heard excuses for it. Its just something that happened. Its similar to europe with the original peoples of places displace, diluted, or destroyed.

Also like, even if they were, so what? Someone or a culture being 'less' developed is not a good excuse for colonising, genociding etc it. Offer help with no strings attached, sure. But anything more than that is wrong and unethical to the highest degree.

Yes, well, I have the power to do a lot of things that I don't have the right to do. Waging a war of conquest is immoral, you have no right to do it, and you have no right to any land you gained from it.

And yes, that ultimately implies that all land ownership is unrightful and illegitimate. I'm with Gerrard Winstanley: private land ownership was the original sin, and communities holding land in common is the first step to redemption.

The Americas were mostly in the copper age though. They however unlike in Africa, Asia and Europe seem to not have used it as much for producing practical items, but more for art.

Also the late stone age did have fairly complex societies as well. Not just in the Americas.
