“Exploring Hoosier Minority Groups: Indiana’s Native American PopulationRachel Strange

Geodemographic Analyst, Indiana Business Research Center, Indiana University Kelley School of Business

Indiana’s population has become increasingly diverse in terms of race and origin. Results from the latest census count for 2010 provide us with a rich set of information from which to gain insight into our population diversity. This article is the last of four InContext articles to provide demographic snapshots of our minority population. Native Americans comprised 0.3 percent of Indiana’s population in 2010 and will be the focus of this snapshot. (View the articles on Indiana’s black population, Indiana’s Hispanic population and Indiana’s Asian population.) The overview that follows focuses on population, household formation, income and education."

These are statistics that Indigenous people in Indiana, USA, are experiencing. Very relevant to all of us.

This is a blurry photo of Joy Sundberg as she was honored this year (2014) at the 37th Annual California Conference on American Indian Education during the Elder’s Banquet. Joy is a Yurok woman who is known for having worked with Humboldt State University, Tom Parsons, and Frank Douglas, on teaching the Yurok language in schools by creating the first written index of the Yurok language.

“I have found my purpose- to preserve our heritage and promote our people through local culture.”

Maria Salomé, corrió en el marathón del oxxo k10, 2012 y ganó con mucho!, sin tenis, sin ropa apropiada, con su pelo suelto, sólo compitió con una gran condición y principalmente con un gran corazón, representando con orgullo a su tierra, a su pueblo (raramuris), a chihuahua, a cada mujer y a todo México!
Maria Salome, ran in the oxxo k10 Marathon 2012 and won by far!, With no running shoes, no proper clothing, with her hair loose. Only with her great condition, proudly representing her country, her people (the raramuris), to chihuahua, every woman and all of Mexico!

the statistic is NOT “1 in 3 native women will be raped in their lifetime”
the real statistic is “1 in 3 native women will be raped AT LEAST ONCE in their lifetime”
this is a very important distinction to make please make it known im serious. also its worth noting that 70% of our rapes are carried out by colombus’ crew aka white men. murders also happen more at the hands of white men. this is all important information and im pissed it was ignored in that photoset

On February 14, 2014 we will be standing in solidarity with the missing and murdered Indigenous women memorial events in Canada, and we will be honoring the missing and murdered Indigenous women across the continent.
We will also be continuing to organize around violence with community accountability, restoring sovereignty, and moving away from the oppressive legal system. We will be continuing to take back the anti-violence movement from white, carceral feminism, and will be centering it around anti-Blackness and freeing Marissa Alexander. We will be demanding clemency for Dana Deegan. We will be pushing back against more laws that are designed to fill the Prison Industrial Complex, not stop violence against us. Please join us.
