Created and curated as one settler’s labor of love and resistance, Unsettling America has never solicited money, and never will. However, we believe in reparations to indigenous people and the radical redistribution of wealth and resources. Towards that end, here are some indigenous groups and projects we recommend you lend your support to instead. This is mutual aid. This is solidarity, not charity. Thank you! (Please feel free to post suggestions in the comments or email them to us!)

URGENT! Crow and Queen Housing and Medical: Warrior Crow has been in a terrible accident life threatening accident and is in long term care at Vancouver General Hospital with severe brain trauma among other injuries. Crow has fought for land, water, and Indigenous liberation for well over 20 years, dedicating his life to the resistance and the movement. He spent months at Oceti Sakowin as part of Red Warrior Society he fought fiercely, took rubber bullets, was frozen with the water cannons, pepper sprayed, maced, and arrested multiple times for #MniWiconi and was and still is an integral part of Red Warrior Society as well as helping run Ancestral Pride. He is now in the battle of his life, his frontline is surviving and healing, so he can continue his work for Mother Earth. Queen and their children have had to move to Vancouver BC from their home community Ahousaht on the west coast, as his recovery may take up to 2 years of healing his spirit, body, and mind. If you support Indigenous Land Defenders and Water Protectors, now is the time to step up and support a resistance family in a time of extreme need and crisis. Your help can make a difference in whether their family eats and is safe for the day or not. Crow is in what is known as a minimally conscious state, with periods of transient awareness, and his rehabilitation Dr said there is no real timeline for rehabilitation at this time due to his mental current state, and patience is key and that talking with him touching and comforting him and reassurances are best.

We are seeking donations that can help us get closer to our goal of giving our children a safe place from which to live and learn. More…
