top ten things you shouldn't say if your not native or refer natives as :P
1 " thats so Savage" "omg im so savage" -its a racist slur
2 "that animal is such my spirit animal" -u cant have one unless your native
3 "stop living in the past"
4 "quit complaining " referring that my people complain about being silenced from whites
5 referring your group of friend groups as a tribe or clan
6 the term "Eskimo" - was used by non indigenous as a reference to natives
7 that christopher columbus discovered america- honestly it's common sense on why not to say this smh
8 "just get over it" even though more than 55 million of my people were killed i and many others of my kind still face oppression because the government and whites have silenced my people
9 "redskin" one of the most highly negative slurs besides savage or injan
10 "brave" believe it or not this word Referring to Native men as “braves” has a long tradition. Native Circle explains that doing so plays on, and perpetuates, “the ‘noble courageous savage’ stereotype that was pinned on Indigenous men long ago by early Europeans” and “dehumanizes and equates the Native American male to something less than a man.”
11 Far worse than “brave,” the word “squ*w” likely originally derived from one of many Algonquin morphemes that mean “woman.” It was used in a demeaning, racist, and sexualized way for centuries and has been compared to “c*nt” and “whore."
