As an indigenous woman I really do fear for my life when I go walking by myself. I always went to a school on the reservation where it was just all natives, but when I moved to high school outside of the rez where most of the white people live, it scared the shit out of me.+
I experience racism in high school still, i got called a gangster just for wearing a sweater and these white kids laughed at me when I was walking down the hall. I cry about it still. They speak over you if you try mention indigenous issues and make it about white people.

End of thread. If you read through all of it thank you
. Indigenous people don’t really get mentioned in the media, and when we do it’s only to make us look bad
