Native American Reservations
A reservation is an area of land managed by a Native American tribe. There are about 310 reservations in the United States but there are more than 550 tribes. This is because some tribes have more than one reservation, some share reservations, other tribes have no reservation and some tribes are not recognized by the government.
Today, tribes have tribal sovereignty (legal independence). This means that they can have their own laws and even their own money, like an independent country. Different reservations have different systems of government. But reservation law is limited by US federal and state law.
The quality of life on a typical reservation is extremely poor, similar to that of developing countries. Many reservations now have casinos to attract tourists and make money.
We have to learn how to move through a linear society without completely losing ourselves in that greed—in my language, “Naholo” or a "lover of things”.
We are a people of endurance and protectors of the land.
maintaining our traditions
ancient knowledge in our hands and lighting sacred fires
sustaining song and dance
and during all oppression we would stand
This is a song of survival
can you get with this?
indigenous revival
the movement of the people
a revolution tribal
just another song of survival
You say you just living life
But do you remember where you’re from?
Knowledge of your ancestors and the children yet to come
Do have game to retain the knowledge that the oldest hold as sacred?
How to walk in balance, see clearly and release hate
Why do we emulate what’s popular in a society that wasn’t built for us or even with us in mind so why do we participate in what’s killing us?
This one’s for all the artists and the poets who are saving us.
The B-Boys, rappers, MC’s and turn-tablists.
The more elements are like medicine. Cultural empowerment.
So keep your YOLO and swag and watch hip hop devour it.
The criticism’s out of love for what I know could be better.
Ceremony is the key that much knowledge beyond measure.
I conjecture we’re changing the weather.
Revolutionaries adorn feathers
that have never been idle, manifesting through lectures.
Colonization, assimilation, try to erase us from this nation but we stand here strong singing songs of creation.
Raising up our fists.
Reaching for the stars.
Defiant, we resist.
Remember who we are.
We are a people of endurance and protectors of the land.

Spirit over money
Teachings over law
Balance over power
Yeah the empire will fall
Manifest destiny
capitalist exploitation of nature
self-destructive destiny manifested trough hatred
Be careful you could become this.
Don’t take this out of context
Impotent … sent me from an inferiority complex
Young can do what you want.
Please don’t get defensive
Just know what you put in the world has definitive consequences.
Change, activists, action is the start. Not by the movement of your mouth but by the manifestation of your heart. People say that they don’t see us. There’s no evidence that we’re here. But when they look at us, they don’t see us they’re only seeing their own fear. No Eiffel Towel here. No ancient towers here. But listen to our heartbeat you can hear it in the drum. You can see us in the land. Where you stand is where we’re from.
Been regaining ancient knowledge and the best is yet to come.
Raising up our fists.
Reaching for the stars.
Defiant, we resist.
Remember who we are.

It was frightening for Americans to think of war. England
was a great power; the colonies were scattered and had little military
experience. But, they prepared for the worst, so, New Englanders began to collect cannonballs
and gunpowder in Concord, a small town about twenty miles northwest of Boston. When
the British heard about weapons, they decided to get them. Paul Revere, a
silversmith who wanted independence, found out that the British soldiers were
getting ready to attack. He sent a spy into the British camp; the spy was to
send a signal. Revere instructed: "If the British go out by water, we
should show two lanterns in the North Church steeple; and if by land, one, as a
signal."
On the night of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere saw one lamp,
then two, in the church steeple. Now he knew. The British—called redcoats
because of their red uniforms—were taking the water route across the Charles
River. Paul Revere jumped on his horse and rode hard all night, warning
everyone in the countryside, "The British are coming! The British are
coming!" At Concord and at Lexington the American farmers were ready: They
grabbed their guns. They were called minutemen because they could fight on a
minute's notice. Captain John Parker was their leader. He said : "Stand
your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon. But if they mean to have a war, let
it begin here."
And it did begin right there, at Lexington. The great
American poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson, later wrote of that moment:
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
Of course the sound wasn't actually heard. But the poet knew
what he was writing. Because this fight, which was just beginning, would have a
purpose and meaning that would echo and re-echo around the globe. Its message
was one of freedom—and that "all men are created equal"—and that idea
would resonate worldwide.
In 1775 General Thomas Gage sent 700 British troops from Boston to seize or destroy military supplies at Concord as well as to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock for treason. Patriot leader Joseph Warren sent Paul Revere and William Dawes by separate routes to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that the British were coming to arrest them for treason. Revere arranged for a signal to be flashed from the steeple of Boston's Old North Church, two lanterns would mean that the British were coming by water and one would mean that the British would be coming by land. Revere arrived in Lexington about midnight riding on a borrowed horse. Meanwhile Dawes arrived in Concord. However Revere was captured by the British but they released him. He returned to Lexington where he joined Adams and Hancock. They fled but Revere stayed in Lexington to rescue valuable papers. When the British arrived in Lexington they found the Minutemen waiting. And a battle ensued.
