"#Illinois returns stolen land to Prairie Band #Potawatomi Nation

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- The Prairie Land Potawatomi Nation has reclaimed land in Illinois that was promised to the tribe's leader 175 years ago but stolen by the federal government 20 years later.

A law signed by Gov. JB #Pritzker last week transferred Shabbona Lake State Recreation Area, 1,500 acres (607 hectares) in north-central Illinois."

ABC News · Illinois returns stolen land to Prairie Band Potawatomi NationBy JOHN O'CONNOR Associated Press

All those wish-fulfillment maps showing California, Maine, etc. as part of Canada are continuing the theme of colonization. The US and Canada are on stolen Indigenous land, and both became nations because of genocide. #LandBack

🔥 They stole the land. They bombed the beaches. They poisoned the water. But the people of #Vieques fought back—and they won.

For 60 years, the U.S. Navy used Vieques as a war playground, displacing families and turning paradise into a toxic wasteland. The people resisted with blockades, occupations, and mass disobedience—until they forced the empire to back down.

But colonialism doesn’t end when the soldiers leave. The land is still fenced off, contaminated, stolen. Sound familiar? #Gaza. Kanien’kehá:ka lands. Different places, same colonial script.

They want us to accept displacement as normal. We never will.

AmplifierVieques: Colonialism, Resistance, and the Fight for Liberation | AmplifierVieques, Gaza, and Kanien’kehá:ka lands share a history of colonial militarization and displacement. This post explores the U.S. Navy’s occupation of Vieques, the resistance that forced them out, and the ongoing fight for land reclamation—connecting it to Palestinian and Indigenous struggles worldwide.

And if you come for "them", whoever you decide is "them",

you'll have to come through me.

Hell, I even had a period of pre-Christian Pagan belief. Runes, all that shit.

You Nazi fucks, I am YOU, without the hate. To get to *them*, you come through *me*. Game on.

Mapuche community evicted in Bariloche, Argentina, to favor a forestry entrepreneur.

Last December 10, Javier Milei repealed the Indigenous Territorial Emergency Law, thus giving a free hand to the evictions of native communities and paving the way for the banishment, especially of the Mapuche people and especially in Patagonia.

I love looking through native-land.ca. I learn something new every time I go, usually by just clicking on one of the random articles on the side. It's pretty clear that it's a small team behind it, and I wish they had more resources to be able to put more indigenous languages on the map (literally!).

If you have some time on your hands and a passion for language, I'd highly suggest checking out their Volunteer page: native-land.ca/how-to-contribu It's a lovely way to contribute to/learn about global Indigenous sovereignty and lift up marginalized voices. Each language is a worldview; we can learn so much if only we look for it!

Also this is Ariel; I'd post this on my profile but wandering.shop has a very small character allowance and I am way too long-winded for it, I have found :P

To everyone who's ever looked askance at my land acknowledgment:


Mississaugas of the Credit filed the claim in 2019, alleging that Canada failed to protect it''s interests in 1820 when the First Nation surrendered 10,940 acres of its reserve land covered by Treaties 22 and 23.

The claim alleges that the land, which spans across modern day Mississauga and Oakville, was surrendered with the expectation that the government maintain it for the First Nation's benefit — which didn't happen. Instead, it was sold.
