Everytime u see a viral thread about 'cultural appropriation' of the headdress, donate to Native mutual aid then post your reciept. Every person who engages the viral war bonnet thread should follow suit.

Everyday this survivor fears leaving their apt. The closer we get to goal, the quicker we can get them to safety while preserving their dignity after the traumatic attack. ♥

Rise to the occasion if u can help to get this need met!

Noble savage and paternalism tropes says we should let the academics abd settlers, 'lead us to enlightenment'. Cuz they 'know what's good for us',
Aka keep consenting to being hyperconsumed, extracted into nothing.

where social safety nets don't exist. Current social contracts don't share the same values. It's up to us to change the social contract. So we live in a society where survivors have resources.

Every war bonnet should be accompanied with task to redistribute wealth and make the world safer from settler colonial sexual violence.

I honestly never want to see another cultural appropriation war bonnet thread in my life as long as there are mutual aid needs of Native survivors sitting unmet.

If Natives got same engagement on mutual aid as ppl give viral 'cultural appropriation' react posts, we wouldn't need 'discourse' to 'raise awareness' in the first place.

I'm not just mad at indiv influencers or opportunist. I'm mad at the echo chamber ivory tower. To let them smile in my face by using my family's trauma for 'academic discourse' and think that comes with no expectations or responsibilities to ppl actively exploited.

Cultural appropriation discourse is so high engagement that folks know they get rewarded for recycling old convos. Data mining ,marketing economies encoyrage anything high engagement. But to stop rewarding the colonizer , redistribute wealth back to Natives.

Anytime u see the war bonnet consumption, go seek out a mutual aid initoative of a Native survivor who needs support, for me. And make sure those goals get met.

Something about the way mutual aid is applied online, leaving Native ppl defeated, knowing if they dont get a hypervisible creator to host to garner attention, their needs will Stay at zero...and they aren't wrong. Hence why I'm helping a Native survivor who's not hypervisible.
