CITIES https://twitter.com/kittennaglas/status/1313954836166119427
my ppl lived in LOG CABINS

not just one but TWO PER FAMILY

we had a FIVE STATE EMPIRE

we were well dressed, had art & cultural systems, & a trade network stretching thru central america--you can find ancient Tsalagi art all over 2 continents

TWO CONTINENTS
it took europeans a whole feudal dark age to go from Beowulf to "english"

Sequoyah saw it and was like hmm lemme mess around w that for a sec and like 3 hours later invented a whole writing system ANYONE COULD READ

LIKE IT WAS EASY
our houses were perfectly suited to our environment, strong & sturdy but also 100% biodegradable. when we were finished w them they returned to the earth

match that technology, settlers. oh right you cant
Tsalagi women could own property & easily get divorced. domestic abuse, sexual assault etc were almost unheard of. women moved with a power and freedom in society europeans had never seen to the extent settlers were SHOCKED when Tsalagi women came to state negotiations as equals
can you imagine the wealth, education level, and technological sophistication that would produce such a society?

maybe not because under white supremacy it can't exist 🙂
