Indigenous Rising

i work at an elementary school through american indian education program, so basically I teach language, cultures, and craft classes to the indigenous students on campus, and ensure their representation on campus. 

“and ensure their representation” 

this morning, only minutes ago, two white teachers (who both have native students in their classrooms) were laughing about the genocide of native americans. 

“did you see the teepees my kids made?” one teacher asked.

“yeah, those are cute.” the other said.

“next we are going to be making missions. those missions were made to kill off the indians in california so white people could live here.”

they both laughed. 

well, well, well, what am I to do here?
