NATIVE YOUTH SEXUAL HEALTH NETWORK, North America (www.nativeyouthsexualhealth.com)
Campaign Titled: Healthy Sexuality and Fighting Homophobia: Native Youth Photography Project
About the Project:
This is the first national campaign for First Nations youth across Canada to fight homophobia and normalize healthy sexuality!
First Nations youth from across Canada came together in March 2010 to create a national campaign about sexuality and fighting homophobia. These are the images created from the campaign which can be utilized as posters, postcards, as well as community newspaper inserts for articles and awareness.
About the Organization:
The Native Youth Sexual Health Network (NYSHN) is a North-America wide organization working on issues of healthy sexuality, cultural competency, youth empowerment, reproductive justice, and sex positivity by and for Native youth.
The reclamation and revitalization of traditional knowledge about people’s fundamental human rights over their bodies and spaces, intersected with present-day realities is fundamental to our work.
We work within the full spectrum of reproductive and sexual health for Indigenous peoples.THIS IS AWESOME

Thanks ayiman, need people to see this and write.
Shannen’s Dream took a big step towards being realized.
A motion calling for the federal government to improve education on First Nations reserves was passed unanimously in the House of Commons on Feb. 27.
The motion calls for increased funding of on-reserve schools at least to the level provincial run schools.
While the passing of the motion implies that funding will soon increase for First Nations education, Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan did not commit to increased funding following the vote.
“Our government is already investing heavily in education infrastructure, including building over 30 new schools, new additions to 22 other First Nations schools and over 200 other important projects,” Duncan said in a written statement.
“We made education a top priority in the Canada-First Nations Joint Action Plan and the recent Crown-First Nations gathering in January. We will continue on our path ensuring support for training, skills development and education for First Nations.” …….

THIS SHIT IS OFFENSIVE.
Hey brah, ima need you to take that thing off and stop tagging things “red indian” because that phrase is offensive when you use it, mmmk?
/\ you’re a fucking moron.
ALSO BITCH-ON-HER-HIGH-HORSE:
Definition of RACISM
1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race2: racial prejudice or discriminationThis is from MERRIAM-WEBSTERThis girl has not done a god damn thing to suggest she thinks that the racial differences of “red indians” make them inferior, nor whites superior. She has not demonstrated prejudice.IN FACT… she did the OPPOSITE of discrimination… she included this cultured accessory in her ensemble. She welcomed it into her wardrobe.You’re the ignorant fucking idiot, chick.So you’re saying racial slurs are just fine if you aren’t being using them to be mean? Oh dear. The use of the phrase “red Indian,” is, in fact, suggesting racial inferiority, whether you meant it that way or no.Please read the link I originally posted as to why “including cultured accessories” (hint hint, war bonnets are not accessories) is Not Okay. Do you really think the argument “but I meant it in a good way!” is anything we haven’t heard a thousand times before?In history text books I am referred to as a “white” whereas other races are referred to as their official nomenclature i.e. “Native Americans” or “African Americans.” I don’t bitch because no one calls me “English American” or “Caucasian American” and you can’t honestly try to claim a difference between “Red Indian” and “Whites”
The difference? I’m not bitching because I know it’s not something I should take offensively.
AAAAAND by the way… next time it’s sunny out you better just bend over and take it because sunglasses were invented in 12th century China… it’s a significant part of their historical and cultural garb, and according to your values it would be offensive and racist for anyone but a Chinese person to sport such an item.
Hi
Chinese person here. Please get your fucking facts straight.
Sunglasses? they were NOT of massive cultural significance. Do you KNOW what they were for? They were used by judges to SHIELD THE EYES. because no matter how much you school your face, your eyes give you away.
What do we use sunglasses for nowadays? TO SHIELD THE EYES.
Offensive would be someone not buddhist wearing this:
without giving ANY fucking thought about what it means, just because it’s cool. Or having this somewhere in their house:
without any fucking thought about what all it even IS. JUST BECAUSE IT’S FUCKING PRETTY.
so how about you think about what the headdress MEANS to the people complaining before continuing with your bull?
Yes! Take THAT!
Ignorant white girl got owned.

In Lakota, ‘wasicu’ means ‘takes the fat,’- the term was used to describe Europeans who came to the U.S. and stole land from natives, killed, were disrespectful to nature and animals, and basically raped and pillaged.
One of the world’s largest ever strikes began at midnight on Monday 27th Feb and will end at midnight tonight. Up to 100,000,000 Indian workers from different sectors and industries are calling for a national minimum wage, permanent jobs, and much more.
Yes! Reviving the Labour movement. This type of solidarity needs to take place here.
