Colonialism is disabling, and Indigenous people are dealing with the impacts of that oppression. Johnnie Jae, an Otoe-Missouria and Choctaw journalist, media critic, and artist, writes about Indigenous Peoples' Day for a new piece in Disability Culture Currents. Read more: tinyurl.com/DCCurrents.

Text reading: “’Indigenous Peoples’ Day can be more than recognition of Native presence. It can be a chance to consider how we care for one another and what we're building for those who come next. Disabled Native people have always been part of our communities. Our knowledge, leadership, labor, relationships, and experiences belong in the future of Indigenous Nations.’ Johnnie Jae, they/them. Journalist, media critic, and multidisciplinary artist. ‘Indigenous People’s Day Calls Us to Be Better Relatives.’ Link in bio: tinyurl.com/DCCurrents.” The graphic is light green with dark teal text and a subtle lightning bolt pattern.

Joining the fight against our erasure helps Native communities defend our right to be seen, heard, and counted.

Columbus Day celebrates a myth built on Indigenous erasure. Today, the fight to erase us continues in schools, media, and our lands. But we’re still here. Indigenous Peoples’ Day honors our survival, resistance, and sovereignty.
