I am accepting digital commissions as we haven't had any help to repay this debt it's been stuck at 87/678 (it wasn't as much before because they add interest over time) if you'd like to donate to help me get out of debt you can do so on my
❗️❗️ EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS ❗️❗️
I am in amounting debt due to a car accident a couple of months ago, I am disabled and all my income has been from art sales or donations. 1 painting commission sale could help me pay off my debt before it gets any worse.
Only Natives can be Two-Spirit guys, this isn't a term you can use if you're not Indigenous. It does not mean nonbinary it stands as an umbrella term for all LGBTQA+ Native people however not all LGBTQA+ Natives use the term 2S it based on what they identify as.
No hate to op ofc but military is incredibly common amongst us for multitudes of reasons. Some use it to express their warrior culture. Some were manipulated thinking it would give them and their family a better future on or off rez. Some did it to protect their loved ones- 1/3
While I applaud the sentiment, I do question why an indigenous person would fight in the armed forces of a government which destroyed their people and robbed them of their homelands
A lot of our people are even scouted on rez for the military, in my dad's side my grandpa fought in ww2 as a soldier and he did that because he was told he would be able to get a work permit but lost his status (he regained it only to die after unfortunately) 2/3
Can yall keep the spirit animal drama off my timeliness, as an Indigenous with an ACTUAL spirit animal, and have had multiple arguments on twitter with people appropriating my culture I am honestly sick of the same old drama being regurgitated every month because yall refuse to
The wartime circumstances of Indigenous troops from Canada alone were unique. Those troops were denied the full rights and benefits of citizenship under Canada's colonial Indian Act.
Reminder that White Sage is a closed practice and it should not be appropriated.
If you want to use something to cleanse your space, there are lots of herbs that do the same thing without the appropriating.
If you have white sage, you can gift it to a Native or return it
🧵
For example I am 2S, have been since I was 12/13 however my nonbinary identity doesn't make me 2S multiple things that have to do with my gender/sexual identity made me 2S and that's my choice meanwhile let's say there's a Enby Native and they don't use 2S that's also valid
Gonna invite other BIPOC vtubers to stream with me as we discuss white phrases like "let's skedaddle" "Now listen here bud" "cup of joe" "Jeez Louise" "Alright bucko" and than completely interpret it wrong
Native teens are being murdered but the comments have only been vile disgusting people discussing how Native they look just because these are mixed urban kids that have one non native parent.
Pretendianism is hurting our people and inviting strangers to discuss identity politics
We literally have 2S pow wows here for 2S regalia dancers and people to go to because 2S isn't accepted in every community I remember when I first discovered I was 2S my elder who was 2S told me to be careful because not everyone is accepting of it there those that are and those
Some VTubers saying there isn't racism in this community is crazy when there are artists getting whitewashed, POC VTubers being called slurrs, the literal founder of a LGBTQA+ group facing racism and forced to leave the group they founded, vtuber groups not being inclusive
You probably already seen this but if you haven't please retweet it. I'm sick of seeing ignorant people try to whitesplain why it's "ok" to wear my culture as their costume. It isn't okay to ever wear someone's culture as a costume, it's not only disrespectful, it is racist.
People are calling us(Native's) annoying for celebrating our representation.
You all don't realize that we have been ignored, erased, and had non natives misrepresent roles of our people for so long.
Seeing so many Native actors/actresses bring our people the representation
Calling Natives hostile because we are politely educating people on why taking things from culture is bad is not the take you think it is.
An animal you like/relate with is not a spirit animal it's literally your fursona.
If you read the replies you will see no hostility btw
Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!!!!
I celebrate my background as a Siksikaitsitapi & Ojibwe ❤️ I am blessed to be mixed from 2 great Nations however I mainly state I am Siksikaitsitapi because that is my home and where I lean more towards 🥰 incase you didn't know Siksikaitsitapi
That elder also helped me a lot when I first was coming to terms of who I was and even introduced to me a 2S support group in the city, I also began going to the 2S pow wow every year except the last 2 years because I have been busy/ covid
THIS IS WHY I DONT EAT AT OTHER PEOPLES HOUSES, this person who I won't name but a friend of mine from HS, posted a video of them buying a chamberpot at the thriftstore and than the next story WAS THEM MAKING SOUP IN IT 🤢🤢
I am Siksiká Blackfoot & Ojibwe, my parents are both mixed AfroNative/First Nations with Irish/French Descent that made an even more mixed me lol, this is my model representing my culture 💜
If you are a POC Vtuber QRT your model and your cultural backround❤️✨
I wanna see the amount of diversity we share in this community and I wanna meet more of you and appreciate y’all sm🫵🏽‼️
Anyways consider helping out a 2s disabled artist while yall are here I make and sell acrylic paintings and jewelry I also got a sale happening right now as I'm in need of urgent funds
Don't miss out on my Spring Equinox sale on I have some beautiful paintings available and some jewelry and a raffle with your chance to win $600 worth painting!! Don't forget to enter and use code SPRINGTIME for 10% off all orders until tomorrow!
White man who studies Natives in college thinks he knows more about Natives than Natives know about Natives.
Don't call us "injun" or "indian" we are Native and if you wanna get specific call us by our tribe/clan/nation.
If you're not Native you really should learn to listen.

@Terrilltf
Oh, I've studied this. I've even gone to First Nations University in Regina and taken 6 levels of Cree. Lived with Indians many times. It was/is never racist in Canada to use the term Indian. It's our heritage. The legal name.
You don't recover from DID, autism, ADHD, OCD, depression, or any of this! You learn how to COPE with it. It IS part of your identity, you don't CURE these things. You TREAT them, which means they don't go away, they become MANAGEABLE.
@onedonebun
I don’t think it’s sinister, I think it’s enabling. There’s a lot of new research out about how teens and young adults in online mental health communities are treating psychiatric illnesses as a part of their identity rather than something to recover from.
I support anyone who is undiagnosed Autistic. It's a cruel world we live in where getting this diagnosis can make or break a person. Did you know in the states they have the right to deny Autistic people from getting life-saving organ transplants? That's only one reason among 1/2
If YOUR PARENT IS NATIVE SO ARE YOU! Stop trying to redefine who is or isn't Ndn just because of enrollment, government papers don't mean shit if your mindset is already so colonized you can't see past your blood quantum bs to mourn a dead child.
Leave Nex and their fam alone.
Umbrella term was probably not the best way for me to explain it but I lacked better wording at the time I posted this what I meant was it doesn't have one sigular meaning and many Native communities have given it their own
Listen, if you're not Indigenous, you do NOT get to decide what is or is not anti Indigenous. The fact that you got called out and blocked multiple Indigenous people after it already looks sus, but seeing how you went from love bombing me and multiple other Native Vtubers to this
Native men shitting on plus sized women is so confusing to me, like, look at where you came from dude, you ain't truly traditional unless you like them thicker than your bear grease😤
A somber day for Indigenous communities, many still waiting to hear of their lost daughters, aunts, cousins, and children years after they have gone missing. Remember this day, a memorial.

It is ironic how Americans are hating Canada because our wildfires are causing air quality issues, like did yall forget that borders are imaginary and don't stop us all from sharing the air????? The earth is crying for help and yall keep ignoring it.
Being mixed Indigenous often leaves you feeling inadequate like you're simply "not native enough" or like you don't belong because you don't have a full BQ but that colonial bs is what hurts our people more. If you believe in BQ that means you believe our race has a time limit
🧇 Urgent Funds Waffle🧇
Due to a recent car bill I have to pay by literally tomorrow, I have decided to put an original acrylic art piece of mine up!
1 ticket is $15
Multiple is $10 each
ends April 13th
It honestly really upsetting how Twitch refused to give Native creators the recognition they deserve.. centering Indigenous voice for NAMH month is literally the least they can do, yet they always ignore it.. pls make sure to support Native Twitch streamers this month, especially
You lose any point you're trying to make when you pit Indigenous people against each other.
The fact that she spoke our people's language on stage was already a water gate moment. Yet you're insulting her weight? Kindly sit tf down and shut up on this one. 😒 disgusting behavior
Indigenous protesters smeared red urucum seed paste on the faces of business leaders who are pushing for the construction of a railway in the Amazon that will destroy the environment for numerous communities.
At a public consultation event, these business leaders had come to
Sad news, but my Aunty and my uncle died.. mentally, I was already at a low, but this one hit me pretty hard. Any kind words or pet picks would be appreciated
White Sage is becoming endangered due to the over harvesting of it. This puts the species and the cultural practices in danger, so do NOT buy white sage💗
I will include a longer list of things you can use instead of white sage that will cleanse you and your home below
Posting publicly who your family is can be dangerous for some people. If someone wanted to see if I was related, they could dm me.
SA and stalking victims don't need to post their personal information for everyone to see..
I don’t understand how asking who your Indigenous family is can be bad. I’m too Inuk. We just ask that right away just so we know who we are. It’s so fun lighting up figuring out if and how our families are connected. It’s an act of love. ❤️
Racism isn't drama. You all really need to watch what you say. If a BIPOC is getting attacked because of their skin tone and they defend themselves, it isn't drama. Please, sthu.
I am the first generation to not be sent to residential schools. So stop saying all this shit is in the past when those fucked up people/predators that worked in those "schools" are still out there living normal lives.
Just want to say that it's OK to draw Indigenous characters if you are not Indigenous as long as you are actually researching what you are doing and/or an Indigenous person commissioned you because they trust you not to white wash us/ change our Indigenous features.
I'm just so tired of having to see racism, I understand you wanna educate someone, but if your response is just qrt their racist response, it just isn't worth it.
While i prefer my they/them pronouns please respect my family who use she/her still it isn't due to disrespect its due to my role in the family I have always been an aunt/sister and that's OK! I did think of changing my pronouns to she/them but realized that I don't want
Literally tearing up this is amazing news after the anxiety it was causing Native Nations all over America, afraid that their kids would once again be subjected to being stolen from them
Since it is Native heritage month
Here is a word for you all to learn! It's super easy, it's the Ojibwe word for blueberry pie :).
Miina-baashkiminasigani-biitoosijigani-bakwezhigan. 🫐
:D
This piece is to represent Indigenous mothers and their trauma, their sorrow, their anger, the strength they need to bring our children into this world, but also the beauty and joy that brings.
"Mother's Strength"
Genuinely upsetting to see people debating the BQ of a murdered 2S Indigenous child. I have no words only mourning, my deepest condolences to Nex's Family and loved ones.
ATTN NorthEastern Natives, especially women and 2S, this serial abuser of young Indigenous people is planning to move to our region next month. Please spread the word and do not allow Aqqalu into our spaces.
He literally blocked me for telling him to credit Indigenous artist.. how tf you gonna make videos saying hoe much you love our art but you refuse to promote or credit us????
@TheFemoid
No the closest you can be to Indigenous cultures off the rez is being a literal Native person. And you are not Native so I don't see how you're the one handing out "passes"
@Cammie_BlueSky
The land was a sacred place for us, the US government knew that when this happened so they turned it like many other sacred locations for Natives into a national park making it impossible for Natives to actually do anything about it legally
• Rosemary, like sage, rosemary is perfect for burning as a purification herb
• Goldenrod to step into abundance mindset
• Lavender to uplift the mood, dispel negative emotion and bring in a sense of calm and relaxation
• Lemongrass is for purifying and cleansing
Today is

I am a disabled Queer Blackfoot artist who has been really struggling to make ends meet this month ❤️ if any sugar settlers want to send something my way that would be much appreciated
You can also buy merch/art!
Koda has to go to the vet asap he opened his incision and has been bleeding. Their earliest apt is tomorrow, and the estimated vet bill will be around $85-90 if anyone wants to help us out :'(
A reminder that L*li/s*otacons have NO place in my community!
If you like/view/support that type of "content", don't just unfollow me - block me, so I never have to interact with you again. Thanks 💙
I updated my merch store to include some of my paintings ❤️
If you wanted a painting from me but couldn't afford there's no an option to buy it on clothing or stickers 🥰
Check it out here!
