We didn’t fight Christopher Columbus, but we fought the spirits that were there.” Tap the link in our bio to read the full story.#indigenouspeoplesday #protectnativewomen #mmiw #landdefenders #waterprotectors #fuckcolumbus #columbusstatue #endwhitesupremacy #currentmovements https://instagr.am/p/CGQ7gTcAPmf/ Follow #ADPhD on IG: @afrxdiasporaphd -- source link
