My Cat, Keiko Hiratsuka Moore.

I saw your post about leftists belittling the Landback movement without fully understanding it, and I'm realizing I really don't know enough about it. Can you provide some information or trustworthy sources, or direct me somewhere?

Landback is the result of a few different concepts and familiarizing yourself with them first should be step 1.

There's anti-colonialism, indigenous sovereignty, generational wealth, & generational trauma. Looking up A.I.M (American Indian Movement), it's history, and goals would also be a good place to start. As would looking into the treatment of natives on reservations. Look into the history of treaties and how often they've been broken. Learning where we're coming from when we say "landback" will help you see where we want to go.

Follow Indigenous people. Follow indigenous creators, go out of your way to do so (I don't know any usernames off the top of my head, oops. but go through the #ndn #landback & #stopline3 tags)

But honestly... another part of it is understanding that indigenous lessons aren't written like white stories and books are. We don't have a book I can give you that neatly explains it. (Personally, I learned without ever having needed to pick up a book about it so... no I don't have specific resources. What I've learned I've learned over the course of my life from ppl and resources around me).

Landback is this simple to me:

Let us be Indigenous again. Point blank that's it. That's what it means. But lemme explain...

Colonizers came and took everything. Our land, our women, our men, our children, our futures, our freedom, and tried their damnedest to take every drop of our indigeneity too.

Just give us the land back.

Nobody can own the earth. When we say landback we don't mean ownership.

We aren't going to evict the Europeans or anyone else. But we do want to be caretakers of the land. We want to move freely on it like we used to (reservations and confining us to them is an insult and inhumane... like a cage). Taking our resources and giving us shitty land we can hardly work and can't really live off of when that's all we've done... leaving us to feed ourselves with greasy, unhealthy rations... forcing us to be reliant on that shit.

We mean let us do burns to prevent wildfires. We mean let us pick berries on land that now has a 'no trespassing' on it. We mean let us migrate and move around with the seasons like we used to without needing a passport or without breaking some law that was invented (probably) specifically to force Indigenous ppl to respect land ownership and stay where we were told.

We mean abolish the idea that you own land and have the right to govern who can use that land.

We mean decriminalize being Indigenous.

Anyway, if my followers or mutuals have any resources, please add them for anon.
