Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes Oklahoma
Two distinct tribes with distinct histories. The Cheyenne were located near the Great Lakes in present-day Minnesota.
The Arapaho, came from Saskatchewan, Montana, Wyoming, eastern Colorado, & western South Dakota.
The Cheyenne & Arapaho formed an alliance in the 18th & 19th centuries. Together they were a formidable military force, successful hunters, & active traders with other tribes.

#History challenge, on #colonialism #native peoples
What are similarities and differences between the way USA won the West and the way Russia/Moscow won the East?
In 1838, Cherokees, intermarried whites & even slaves were summarily rounded up & placed into more than a dozen stockades to await their departure. It’s estimated that 16,000 eventually were forced to undertake the six to seven month journey to “Indian Territory” in the land beyond Arkansas. Between the stockades, starvation & sickness, & the harsh winter conditions, some 4,000 perished, never reaching their new land.

The perpetrator of this injustice describes himself as a Native American hobbyist in the Czech Republic. They want so bad to BE Native American that they steal culture & don't let Native American people have it.
He is featured in the film “If Only I Were an Indian” or “Becoming Native American ” in the Czech Republic. "Becoming Native Amer in the Czech Republic"
It's totally weird cosplay. Next level weird.

These White cosplayers stole an Indigenous language, copywrite it, & are now selling it back to the Indigenous community at exorbitant rates.

Caddo Nation of Oklahoma
After multiple forced removals, the Caddo eventually relocated to what is now Caddo County, OK. The Kadohadacho, Natchitoches, and Hasinai confederacies and all the bands within them consolidated geographically as a consequence of Indian removal. Additional losses resulted from the subsequent sale of reservation lands as a result of allotment.

I've been testing a dedicated database server which seems to have the configuration worked out now.
SCHEDULE CHANGE: This morning I'm going to be taking Woodpecker.social down for an hour or so to migrate the database to its new server and make final configurations.

@maartenpelgrim not sure but you might want to #Explore those topics with a hashtag so and an interesting photo and see who responds. Good luck! Also, put your location- generally like state or nearby city so folks in same climate and plants can respond. i work with the #CaliforniaNativePlantSociety @cnps but also use non-invasive exotics for color in summer. Did the same in #Virgina with the #VirginiaNativePlant group.

Apache Tribe of Oklahoma
Over 7,000 Comanches, Kiowa, Apaches, Cheyennes, and Arapahoes gathered as their disheartened leaders reluctantly signed the Treaties of Medicine Lodge in 1867. Renewing their old friendship with the Comanches and Kiowas, the Apaches were assigned with these tribes to a reservation in present southwestern Oklahoma.

Tightening laws to exclude all state-recognized tribes could stop some legitimate #Native artists from marketing their wares. But Hoskin also noted that state-recognized tribes don't have the same relationship with the US government that federally-recognized ones do, and said protections like IACA should be reserved for those unique relationships between sovereigns.
🧵 4/4
Now he has. And while state-level tribes may seem like the underdogs, the concern is that including them in IACA leaves room for pretendians to profit off of fake #Native #art.
🧵 3/4
https://ictnews.org/news/tribal-leaders-hope-to-improve-indian-arts-and-crafts-act
The idea that only Natives should be allowed to sell #Native #art is not especially controversial. But below the surface, IACA reform is a battle between state-recognized tribes and one of the biggest federally-recognized tribes in the US.
A few years ago I spoke with #Cherokee Nation Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. about state laws defining Indian Art. He was part of a push to tighten Missouri and Oklahoma laws to exclude state-recognized tribes from the definition.

#AlabamaQuassarte Tribal Town (Oklahoma)
Originally two distinct tribes, who both lived on the banks of the Alabama River from Mobile, Alabama to the upper reaches of the river. The river and the state are named after the Alabama.
Both Muskogean-speaking. In the early 1600s after a conflict with French settlers, the tribes formed an alliance. In 1763, the two tribes joined the Muscogee Nation Confederacy (also called the Creek Confederacy).

#AbsenteeShawnee Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma
Known to have lived in the Eastern United States, and it has been documented that they traveled from Canada to Florida, from the Mississippi River to the East Coast before being removed to the area which they now occupy.
Originally, the Shawnee Indians lived in the northeastern parts of the United States in areas now known as the states of OH, IN, IL, KY, TN, PA, and neighboring states.

There has been no greater crime than colonization including enslavement & a host of other major crimes cast upon the world.
Tens of millions & tens of millions lives lost. Livelihoods & civilizations demolished.
There is no comparison to any other crimes, people of European descent win the award.
It's mind-boggling that white people are scared of #BIPOC people & make up all kinds of things to rationalize their fears, when they are the ones who are dangerous...
Did you know the populations of the Americas and Europe were of similar size in 1491?

It always shocks me how small #SettlerSaturday and #IndigenousMutualAid on Mastodon/Fediverse is...
What this really means is not that the need isn't there, it's that the Indigenous community here is underpopulated compared to the whole of the Mastodon/Fediverse.
We really need personal outreach to Indigenous friends and relatives.

!!! IMPORTANT to know how to pronounce Cvkvlv !!!
Cvkvlv is pronounced CHUH kuh luh, kind of like chocolate, if you need a mnemonic.
Remember that!
!!! BIG NEWS SOON !!!
Woodpeckers are medicine birds. The largest and strongest of the woodpeckers is Cvkvlv, the ivory-billed woodpecker.
