I was at a work conference, and they did a land acknowledgement telling us we were on the land of Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho people.
I want to do more than just acknowledge this. I'm looking for something to donate to, which is of particular interest to Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho people. This could be mutual aid, or any sort of nonprofit, or whatever.
I'll donate what I can and pass the suggestion along to coworkers.
Any suggestions?

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1864, the US military attacked a peaceful band of #Cheyenne and #Arapaho people who were flying an American flag in the #SandCreekMassacre. 170 unarmed people were butchered. The chief had recently signed away 90% of his land when gold had been found on it.
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1868, US troops under General #Custer wiped out a village of peaceful #Cheyenne people. The chief was assured they were safe, then he and his wife were shot. 103 people were killed, nearly all of them women and children. Settler-colonialism is genocidal.

From 2019:
#BlackfeetNation to host first-ever Murdered and Missing
#IndigenousWomen tribunal in the U.S.
Posted on September 26, 2019 Last Read Indians, via #CensoredNews
#MMIW tribunal to be held at the Blackfeet Community College in Browning, Montana the weekend of October 4-5 [2019]
"'This is not just a Blackfeet or #Montana tribes’ tragedy, it is an #IndianCountry tragedy, and a national and international disgrace. This is a multi-generational epidemic the federal government has done nothing to address – even less than the #CanadianGovernment – which was found to be complicit in ‘deliberate race, identity and gender-based genocide’ by its own National Inquiry into MMIW,' said Chairman Tim Davis of the Blackfeet Nation. "
"'The Blackfeet Nation is uniquely positioned to host this first of its kind MMIW tribunal in the lower-48 states. The Blackfeet Tribe (Amskapi Pikuni), a member of the Blackfoot Confederacy along with its three sister tribes – the #Piikani, #Blood and #Siksika, located in #AlbertaCanada, stands in solidarity in combatting the issue of MMIW (MMIP) in Indian country. “The truth is that we live in a country whose laws and institutions perpetuate violations of basic human and Indigenous rights. These violations amount to nothing less than the deliberate, often covert campaign of genocide against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people,' wrote Chief Commissioner Marion Buller in Reclaiming Power and Place, the final report of Canada’s National Inquiry into Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls published on June 3, 2019.
“'We are not divided by the border we are united in our grief. Many women and children stolen from our communities are trafficked back and forth between the US and Canada,' explained Chairman Davis.
Tribal members constitute seven percent of Montana’s population, but the state identifies some 26 percent of missing persons as Native American. Available evidence suggests that may be a low estimate. Last year’s Urban Indian Health Institute Report identified Montana as the state with the fifth highest incidence of MMIW cases. Billings, which had the same disturbing ranking among cities, is a known-hub on the I-90 corridor through #CrowNation, #Cheyenne and #LakotaDakota country to Minnesota, along which indigenous women and children are trafficked into sex slavery. The western 'track' runs from Missoula to Seattle, Washington. As of spring 2019, Montana had not submitted any MMIW data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 'For those abducted into sex-slavery, the I-90 corridor is a second #HighwayOfTears, said Chairman Davis, drawing a comparison to the infamous highway in #BritishColumbia cited in #ReclaimingPowerAndPlace."

Now here's the future scifi promised me!
> #VictorMiller is a 42-year-old librarian from #Cheyenne, the capital city of #Wyoming, with a population around 64,000. He is running for mayor, but he doesn’t seem to want to do any of the usual work the job would entail. Instead, he’d be a sort of #AI mayor, letting a #ChatGPT-powered chatbot called VIC, short for Virtual Integrated Citizen, run Cheyenne if he wins.
Meanwhile, some dude on a yellow tricycle is giving the parade crowd high-fives.
Yee-Haw factor has DEFINITELY reached 100.
