      Mate that link just goes to another social media platform. I’m beginning to think this isn’t really anything worth looking into if they can’t even have a non-enshitified web-presence.

        We are working on building a website and filming a documentary, I can personally attest to what we have been doing with the funding we have received thus far.

        I personally visited in august where we provided a whole buffalo for the sundance along with firewood and other winter survival necessities, and some of us volunteering our labor. You want colonized people fighting for existence to have a slick presentation to appeal to your white settler sensibilities? Like yeah we will have a website up eventually but that is so not on the list of priorities while we work to prevent people from dying RIGHT NOW on the rez.

        “Mate”…

          How am I supposed to know any of that, mate? Get a fucking website setup. Want help? I’ll help you if you want. Takes a few minutes and then you can rant and rave on a real website and not social media owned by billionaire assholes.

          shoot me a DM, mate. Lets get it going!

          And yes - everyone should be heinously paranoid about online scams. To think otherwise is foolish to retarded.

            We are literally building a website right now, but in the meantime people are still fucking dying out there. Last year one elder on the rez was burning his own clothes to keep warm

            In the meantime these are tools immediately available to us to reach large numbers of people and building a website and hosting it also costs money.

            Right now our focus is getting folks through the winter and then come spring starting construction on new housing and the community center. We have the land and the people to do the work we just need to pay for it. And this will pave the way for more projects in the future such as a youth survival school, community gardens as a push toward food sovereignty, and a buffalo pasture so that they don’t have to go pay a white rancher a fee to hunt them. This will also bolster conservation and repopulation efforts regarding buffalo.

            Also we should have a 501c3 set up by the end of the year to lay your skepticism to rest.

            Apologies for the hostility but, like, this is an actual life or death situation and I gave you the links to what we have publicly available so far.

        People use the tools they have access to, and some things are more important than worrying about using a platform that works because tool’s owner’s business model or actions are bad.
