We stole their wealth...

Scene in Navajo Nation


Poverty in the Navajo Nation... This is the shame our grandparents and great-great... grandparents created.

We need to give back.  

"Indian givers" in my childhood meant people who gave you something and then took it back.

White people are the ones who pushed Native people back, gave them eveything west of the Mississippi, and then took it back--repeatedly pushing, confining, and then taking more.

The end of the photos tells where to donate.

Thanks for your tweet, Ava DuVernay and to Allen, who tweets as @lilnativeboy.

Navajo 11-yr-old girl killed by Navajo man.

Women are not safe anywhere... even among men of their own culture.

What brought this young man to this act?
