A few words on how to speak to/about #Native people:
1. We still exist. Do not speak about us in the past tense unless you are discussing history. We were not wiped out; don’t try to erase us again.
2. There are 100's of American Indian tribes/nations. We are not a monolith; don't expect us to be experts on cultures that are not ours.
3. Speaking of expecting us to be experts, don't come to Native people or communities demanding them to educate you. Start by listening.
