I'll admit I am not a big fan of these special days. I think most of them miss the mark. That's not to say that I won't try to use them to be heard. I will!بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

The often overlooked victims of oppression and colonization are children. I will not wear an "Every Child Matters" orange shirt on Monday any more than I would wear an "All Lives Matter" t-shirt. OUR CHILDREN MATTER! Native Children Matter! Your history would suggest otherwise but we reject all that. Join us for a discussion on the Children of Oppr…

Shenendehowa High School in the Albany NY area FINALLY has agreed to drop its mascot. I take the opportunity to engage with some of the unhappy customers associated with them. I also point out the specific law passed just as the US was going all-in with residential schools.بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

Your "Kill the Indian - Save the Man" policy was just one of the genocidal strategies. Let's put your numbers to all of it from massacres to removal to starvation and the whole thing!بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

Can you even imaging that instead of assessing the damages committed in perpetrating a crime that you only assess what was paid out to commit the crime? Well, here you go!بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

They low-balled the deaths at these schools to under 1000 and only could identify 18,000 kids forced into these schools. The true numbers are closer to 20,000 deaths and 100,000 total victims.بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

From "merciless Indian Savages" to forced citizenship. Scalp bounties, massacres, and theft of our lands and our children. This day marked not a declaration of independence but of a war against anything in their way!بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

On June 19th 1865, Native people were improsoned in open air prisons called "reservations." Native children we being ripped away from their families and communities, and sent to child prisons called "residential schools," where they were abused, beaten, raped and killed for who they were. Informing some of the last enslaved human beings in the US t…

I do not speak for all Native people; not by a long shot! But more and more Native people are coming around. My goal is to empower the next generation of activists. We need allies and accomplices.بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

But what about the 150 years prior? From Merciless Indian Savages to incompetent wards of the state to forced citizenship. We'll take a look.بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

Any "deal" that extinguishes Native title to our homelands is unacceptable and NO ONE has the authority to sellout the birthright of our children.بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

Native people were driven off our lands at gunpoint by armies. We were defrauded, lied to and cheated in every way possible. Today we are robbed by lawyers trying to "settle" land claims; which are really just lopsided land sales to extinguish our land titles.بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

One of many narratives promoted to justify stripping and replacing our citizenship.بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

The US passed the Indian Citizenship Act in 1924, declaring all Native people to be US citizens. So, are we? What does that mean? Dual citizenship? Voting rights. Taxable. Doe the US hold the underlying title to our lands?بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

56 years after the assassination of the country's most famous peace activist, the list of unarmed Black people killed by police continues to grow. And any suggestions of police reforms, if anything are being rolled back in the midst of America's culture wars. Bureaucrats create paper to address Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and NEVER addres…

The Indian Citizenship Act was not a grant for a pathway to citizenship. It was a declaration with no choice or option associated with it. It was NOT the creation of dual citizenship. It was the erasure of ours and the imposition of theirs.بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

We lack any true sense of identity if we don't know or carry our past forward. But going forward with a distinct identity requires a knowledge of how to fight and defend that identity.بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

I offer my thoughts on what many have called an Oscar snub to one of the most incredible stories ever told on film. The Reservation Economic Summit was this week in Vegas. The theme was "Strength In Unity." Sounds good! I share some thoughts.بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

The disproportionate suffering of women and children in Gaza or at the US Southern Border seeking refuge. Or the on-going epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous women. Can we celebrate women as we ignore these crises?بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

Many of the most egregious legal doctrines used to oppress Native peoples were created and affirmed by the US Supreme Court. They have been doing this for over 200 years. It is nothing new.بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

The news media outlets refuse to say why Native mascots are banned and simply say schools are being forced to change them because of a State ban. All this does is feed the "culture war" frenzy.بقلم John Kane & Regan de Loggans

My old school that I took on over their mascot lost their appeal to the State Supreme Court. This fight led to the statewide ban.
