Seneca Nation criticizes Trump's ‘Lake America’ executive order

The leader of the #Seneca Nation in upstate New York is criticizing #Trump’s decision to rename #LakeOntario as “Lake America,” saying it #violates a more than 225-year-old #treaty and shows a “blatant disrespect” for the #Indigenous people who gave it its name in the first place.

Seneca said the renaming violated the 1794 Treaty of #Canandaigua, which was signed by President George #Washington and the #Hudenosaunee confederacy promising perpetual #peace and friendship. The Seneca are one of the six #nations of the confederacy, also known as the #Iroquois #Confederacy.

This is going to be unpopular.

I keep seeing people say they're shocked how anti-Indigenous Australia is, and when I go look at their profiles they all have "leftist" written.

You all need to understand what this means for how your leftism is tied in to white supremacy.

If you're shocked to find out that a colonised country is racist, you haven't been listening.

If your leftist selves haven't been listening to Indigenous people on this Stolen Land, you're leaning into white supremacy.
