I have a lot of popular posts and almost all of them get reblogged with obnoxious and inane tags on them and honestly this post is a breath of fresh air because look at all the friggin positivity I get to see!!!!!!

Anonymous asked: Can natives pleeeeeeease do something more than drinking and loan sharking and running casinos? Please contribute something to society

neechees:

Lol why don’t you contribute something to society by actually educating yourself on Native Americans instead of sending anons on topics that you literally know nothing about or have experienced? 

Heeey, fun facts about how society in this earth wouldn’t be what it is today literally because Indigenous peoples and our brilliance but nobody acknowledges because white people use the media to whitewash everything we came up with and gave other white people the credit for it to ensure that Indigenous people won’t be seen:

• Indigenous peoples genetically domesticated corn from a wild grass called teosinite; not to mention that corn, rice, and wheat provide about 60% of the world’s human food supply of the world. If you eat any of those things, hey, it’s thanks to us.
  
• By the time Columbus landed, North, Meso-, and South Americans had developed over 3,000 varieties of potatoes to suit a number of climates and had domesticated at least 300 grasses. In contrast, European interest in plant genetics remained indifferent until the 20th century
• The road systems of Ancient Andeans were more sophisticated and intricate than that of Rome
• Some pre-contact North American Indian healers administered medicine beneath the skin with hypodermic syringes that they made from hollow bird bones and small animal bladders.  European physicians did not use hypodermic syringes until 1853. They were still using leaches.
  
• The Mayans had a 360-day calendar. By the 5th century B.C. Native American calendars were so precise that they were less than 20 minutes off. 
  
• It’s guessed that around the year 1519, Aztec people invented Arthrocentesis; an operation to remove excess fluid from the knee joints.
• The Six Nations [Iroquois Confederacy] traditional ways of governing people has directly influenced American Democracy
• 42% of eligible Native American men from reservations aged between 21 to 44 had served in WWII and was the highest ratio of service men of any ethnic minority or the white majority
• WWI and WWII could not have been won without Native American code talkers: who sent coded messages in their traditional languages such as Cherokee, Navajo, and Comanche,  In fact, Hitler even found out about these code talkers, sent a few people to North America so that they could try to learn the language and hence understand these secret codes, but it was too difficult for them to learn the different dialects and languages that existed.
• Sign Language was already in use before Settlers arrived in the Americas
• The Catawba and other tribes in southeastern United States discovered and put to use the medicinal and veterinary abilities of Quinnine
• List of words and place names of Indigenous origin

And that’s just a few things. Lol ‘cause eastern tribes saving White people the second winter in North America after the first wave of Pilgrims dying their first winter here wasn’t good enough for you, I guess. Or the Fact that Thomas Jefferson himself said that his idea for American democracy was borrowed from Iroqois Confederacy governing. 

Or that every time you eat Corn, Wild rice, capsicum, squash, Pinto beans, Tomatoes, potatoes, Avocados, Chocolate, Chile, Vanilla, Black Rasperries, Papayas, Sunflower seeds, you happen to be eating it because Indigenous peoples domesticated the plants for use of eating. But that’s not a big enough contribution that’s already heavily ingrained into today’s world, I guess. 

You know what, here’s a nice little list of things that Indigenous peoples of the Americas invented [independently; of course coincidentally, other cultures may have invented the same things but of different structuce/etc. but that’s besides the point] and used in their cultures that are widely used in the WORLD’S societies today!

• Aspirin/pain medication: in which many peoples used willow bark as a pain reliever, 
  
• Cotton
• rubber
• bunk beds
• baby formula
• Canoes
• electroplating
• Freeze-drying
• grainaries
• snow goggles
• igloos
• snow shoes
• horse breeds
• jerkey
• Lacrosse
• Maple Syrup
• Metallurgy
• Moccasins 
• oral contraceptives
• Tobacco
• Toboggan
• vulcanization

Again, a few things… But you’re right, us Indians have contributed asbolutely nothing to society worth of mention. It’s not like any of these things are insanely or widely used today not only in North America, or around the world. It’s not like White people took credit for these things and stole our land and ruined our livelihoods. It’s not like First Nations are the fastest growing population in Canada and that we’ll be, and have been, contributing to society TONS. It’s not like fucking North American countries wouldn’t actually BE countries without the help of First Nations and Native Americans, be it fighting in war, teaching them how to live on this land, agreeing to share this land, and then us being thanked with lies, death, and diseases.

We had society. We all did. We were all fine before colonization. White settlers fucked it up. We we were different, and vast, but or societies were all beautiful. I don’t have time for your white supremacist bullshit that says if it’s not White, then it’s not right.

Lmao bitch kiss my brown, Indian ass and get the fuck out of my face Moniyaw
