Varying reports say that the U.S. murdered sixty to over one hundred school children in Iran. If you support this regime, you are broken. You have blood on your hands. It's never too late to change.

I'd post more videos on BlueSky, but since they can't even be as long as an average length song, it seems kind of pointless most of the time.

Bo French is a GoP political candidate in Texas who has called for Native Americans to be deported. He's been trying to deny it, but it's on the internet. It's like racist rhetoric is a job requirement in the GoP. #nativeamericanflute #nativeamericandrum #resistance #silenceisviolence #Nativebluesky

It's hard to grasp the the cruelty of a MAGA-driven, nationalistic "secret" police going after the people who have citizenship and blood ties preceding most or all of them.

To #NativeBlueSky: what is the word in your locale? Are you in a red or a blue state? Please share!

After Scrutiny, Michigan Moves to Release Redacted Native Boarding School Report A week after Bridge Michigan published an article reporting that the state was withholding a $1.1 million study on Native American boarding schools, the Michigan Department of Civil Rights — which ove...

Michigan pays for a full report. The Consultant delivers the full report.
Michigan: "Why can't you just make it shorter? I don't want to read what ACTUALLY happened to the Native children."
#Michigan citizens should demand the state stop stalling. People's stories deserve to be heard!

Experimenting with ahuli(drum) again. It's still pretty new to me, but I like what does to the melodies in my head at least. I play around with combining it with the flute.
Also support the resistance. #minniapolis

Image from The Untold Past include photos of the KKK from the 1950s. Photo text says "The Klan arrived to intimidate a Native community. They brought crosses and speeches. Five hundred men walked out of the dark. One light went out. The Klan ran screaming. Hayes Pond, 1958."
Original post text:
"The Night Fear Changed Sides
Maxton, North Carolina. January 18, 1958.
The Ku Klux Klan was used to being obeyed.
Used to silence.
 Used to empty streets.
 Used to people looking down.
That winter, their leader James “Catfish” Cole announced a rally in Robeson County. He promised newspapers they would “have a talk with the Indians.”
They brought a generator.
 A microphone.
 And a giant wooden cross wrapped in burlap.
Ready to burn.
They expected fear.
What they got was veterans.
The Lumbee Tribe had fought in World War II and Korea. They had faced machine guns and artillery. Men in white robes did not impress them.
As night fell, Klansmen began their speeches.
White supremacy.
 Threats.
 Boasting.
Then they heard it.
Car doors.
Hundreds of them.
Five hundred Lumbee men stepped out of the darkness. Some carried rifles. Some shotguns. Some rocks. All carried confidence.
They walked forward in silence.
The Grand Dragon froze.
He was outnumbered ten to one.
One Lumbee man raised his rifle and smashed the only light bulb.
Darkness.
Then came gunfire.
Not at people.
Into the air.
A roar.
The Klan collapsed.
They dropped robes.
 Keys.
 Microphones.
 Crosses.
They ran into swamps.
 Into ditches.
 Into freezing water.
Catfish Cole abandoned his wife and fled.
No one was hurt.
No one was k*lled.
The Lumbee laughed.
They collected the Klan’s equipment. Held a celebration. Wore the robes as jokes. Turned terror into comedy.
The aftermath was permanent.
The KKK never recovered in that county.
No more rallies.
 No more threats.
 No more power.
One night destroyed decades of intimidation.
They proved something simple.
Bullies only look strong in the light.
Turn it off.
And they run."

Post from Indigenous TV showing the flag and sign for the Oglala Sioux Tribal administration office. Post reads:

The Oglala Sioux Tribe has unanimously rejected an ICE agreement — and banned ICE from Pine Ridge.

During a special meeting on January 21, the Oglala Sioux Tribal Council confirmed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement asked the Tribe to enter into Section 287(g), a federal agreement that would have allowed tribal law enforcement to act as immigration agents for ICE.

The Tribal Council passed two unanimous motions:
• To formally reject any Section 287(g) agreement
• To ban all ICE agents and activities from the Pine Ridge Reservation

Council members also praised Tribal President Frank Star Comes Out for refusing the agreement, citing concerns over sovereignty, jurisdiction, and the unlawful application of immigration authority to U.S. citizens.

The Tribal President is expected to issue a public notice enforcing the ban, while the Tribe awaits further updates regarding three Oglala Sioux tribal members reportedly detained at Fort Snelling.

Blackfeet Nation Calls Out McDonald’s After Native Athletes Turned Away The Blackfeet Nation on Tuesday condemned the actions of a manager at a McDonald’s restaurant in Ronan, Montana, who turned away a group of young Native athletes last Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026, calling ...

Montana passed a law requiring Native history to be taught in school.
Also Montana, on a reservation no less!
If the manager who denied them service isn't fired, the franchise owner statement is just hot air and posturing!

Sometimes we find peace. Sometimes we have to make it. And we definitely need to make time for it, especially when the world's on fire. Found some out in the woods and in the music I make and thought I'd share. Pics, video, and music by me recorded entirely with my phone. #Nativebluesky #Nativeflute

3/3 Native people are more provided proof in twin systems. Is real work validation? Or is it building outside the machinery that requires it. Sovereignty isn't granted. It's practiced.

Orange background with a medicine wheel.
How did they sleep knowing there was a pile of dead children beside them? And they called us savages.

Green protest sign with orange hearts underneath.
No matter what the numbers are, there are not supposed to be graveyards at schools, EVER.
This sign was photographed during solidarity gatherings in Canada (province unknown) after the discovery of multiple unmarked graves at previous Indian Residential Schools, including 215 at Kamloops School in British Columbia.

Remembering all the children lost who never came home.
Remembering the children scared forever. 🧡

The is still confusion about the Freedmen Descendants of the @CherokeeNation. They were mixed race freedmen and their descendents are recognized, card carrying tribal members that mostly live in Oklahoma. If you qualify, contact tribal enrollment 🫶🏼 #nativebluesky #NativeAmerican

Ready for #OrangeShirtDay! Sept 30th!
Make sure if you want to buy a shirt for next week that you check for the company's legitimacy. A lot of bot accounts out there from foreign companies. Please support Indigenous owned/created wear for this.

OBITUARY: Actor Graham Greene dies after long illness - ICT Greene was nominated for an Oscar for his role in ‘Dances with Wolves’ and won a Grammy for a spoken book

Non-Natives don't realize what a legend this man was. He was in like 90% of all Native movies. I still quote his lines from Thunderheart.
Eho chi pisa chike, Moshi Graham! 💔

Yesterday, Aug 6, 2025, marked the 60th anniversary of Natives really getting the right to vote.
Yes. You read that right.
But gerrymandering is trying to take our votes away. And the court is making it worse!!!!
