“[W]e did not join the cries of liberals, Native or not, calling upon our People to vote in order to ‘Save Democracy,’ and during an election where both Presidential candidates are complicit in carrying out genocide in Gaza– an assault on life that has only been possible due to US financial and military support, despite not having the support and consent from the majority of US citizens. “The so-called threats to democracy, marked by “the rise” of white supremacy and facism, is narrative gaslighting that ignores that these values have served for the foundation of this country all along, and have been effectively woven in the very fabric of our government and economic institutions since the colonization of our homelands.” NDN Collective
“The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.” —Samuel P. Huntington, The Clash of Civilisation and the Remaking of the World Order, 1996, p. 51
