I was talking to this guy in the UK and he was like "be my Indian princess" and I was so confused and was like "you know I'm Native American not Indian right" and he said "bitch your Indian now send me photos of that sexy Indian body" I stopped talking to him. I can't believe people think we are some kinda of sex object because history classes lied about what happened to our people (I say our people because I know every tribe is different but we have to stand as one to get through to people)

cosmic-psychonaut:

Beautiful.

You know what’s not beautiful? The fact that Native women are 2.5 times more likely to experience sexual assault. That 1 in 3 Native women will be raped at least once in their lifetime and around 85% of those rapes will be committed by non-Native individuals. Native women are either absent in media or fetishized. We are characterized in the media as primitive sex objects. This image is a racist stereotype and it also promotes the dangerous fetishization of Native women. Please, delete it.
