Reclamation of everything stolen from the original Peoples

LANDBACK Organizing Principles

  1. Don’t burn bridges: even when there is conflict between groups or organizers remember that we are fighting for all of our peoples and we will continue to be in community even after this battle
  2. Don’t defend our ways
  3. Organize to win
  4. Move from abundance – We come from a space of scarcity. We must work from a place of abundance
  5. We bring our people with us
  6. Deep relationships by attraction, not promotion
  7. Divest/invest
  8. We value our warriors
  9. Room for grace—be able to be human
  10. We cannot let our oppressors inhumanity take away from ours
  11. Strategy includes guidance
  12. Realness: Sometimes the truth hurts
  13. Unapologetic but keep it classy

I'd meant to check back here earlier, but thanks for posting a source!

Imo it should always be on the op to provide credible sources beyond a social media account, especially if they want to spread information and make action happen. I appreciate you doing that in a follow up and helping people look beyond screenshots or easily faked images. It's too easy to be create fake outrage and because of how SEO and filter bubbles work, difficult to find an article on this particular instance again, thanks.

It's quite outrageous this ever was (and continues to be) an ongoing issue.
