Leadership is not an elevation to power but a submission to duty. I work every day to align capital with justice for our Native Nations.

.@MsChrystelC @Oweesta sets the table on what we can learn from Native Communities: “Look at most vulnerable and take care of them first” great lesson for banks, philanthropy, government in need to invest in Persistent Poverty areas #LifeInRural

The story of White Innocence is what got Emmitt Till killed, the Central Park 5 and the Fairbanks 4 imprisoned wrongfully...
White Innocence is the ability to say “I was only trying to...” & that changes a whole narrative & lots of white minds.
White Innocence is a super power.

Now the white kids are asserting their white innocence & everybody is sucking it up.
Why? It’s an easy narrative. “I didn’t know what was happening.” Works for white people. Does not work for Brown & Black people.

Thank you Nathan Phillips for showing the world yesterday what tolerance and resilience look like. In the face of ignorance and intimidation, you reminded us that the song cannot stop, and our prayers for our people will never stop.

In an interview with The Post, Omaha tribe elder Nathan Phillips says he “felt like the spirit was talking through me” as teens jeered and mocked him wapo.st/2DlqHdn

No, it wouldn't have been a smash. It is disgraceful that a President is mocking a massacre that hurt our Lakota People. We are outraged by his ignorance and lack of propriety. #ReportThisTweet
