Kısa hayatı boyunca, Shawnee şefi Tecumseh Yerli topraklarındaki beyaz istilasına karşı direnişini tarihe, söylentiye ve efsaneye dönüştürdü.

That's the new trend. Create racism against white people now. Hey Nat Geo no need to instigate...white people have experienced racism for decades in America. For example did you know black on white crime is 10x the reverse yet no one says a thing.

Why exactly do you find it necessary to say 'white' incursion?

Are you saying we should repel the brown incursion into our countries? Would we be hailed as heroes if we did?

Is that how Native American looks. I don’t see them as brown

Tecumseh was not a Chief. He was a leader but not a Chief.

Sorry bud. No more scalping

Thanks for deleting my true post about our history. It wasn’t politically correct for you. And I use to love National Geographic. Life goes on.

🤔

I see he was guilty of cultural appropriation. Wearing the clothes of the civilized world.

He looks like a rock star

Please correct the spelling of his name in this tweet.

Thanks a millon

The Political Attack on the Native American VoteVoters on Navajo, Apache, and Hopi reservations helped swing Arizona for the Democrats in 2020. In response, the Republican governor and state legislature have curtailed ballot access for an already marginalized constituency. ridestothepolls definitely needed here Colour me shocked. Nobody eligible to vote is being denied their right to vote. Name a person who has. Name them specifically. You can't. Oh you can point to groups of people and say it is happening. Not a specific person though. That is because it hasn't happened.
