people moved into america, it was empty, and we are far from empty. one textbook picture of what a native american looks like and that is not how it is today. the common stereotypes. how? yeah, how. americans walk around on eggshells. like, what do we call you guys? we only want to have a seat at the table. we do not want anything more. you just don t want i would have to create space, opportunity for young people to know that there is hope. to most, this is the city of seattle. for me, this is joe amish land. my name is alyssa london. i grew up here, but i m a proud member of the indian tribe of alaska. as an alaskan native, my native identity includes as everything i do. as an msnbc contributor, entrepreneur, and former miss alaska usa. alaska airlines flew me to washington, but i m not here to be in seattle. i m on my way across the puget sound. we are really moving! to the suquamish tribal nation. these are the plans of chief seattle, a suqua
doesn t escape me that we are here at the suquamish indian reservation, and i disseminate the supreme court rendered a decision called off on versus suquamish. that court decision took away the rights of tribes to assert criminal jurisdiction over non-indians who perpetrate crime on indian reservations. that single-handedly led to law enforcement voids that exist to this day on indian lands. because that is still a lot today. every woman, every, child every person deserves to be able to feel safe and to be able to ask for help from law enforcement if that s what they need. that s not necessarily what s afforded tornadic people. i ve noticed you ve done some advocacy work in hollywood terms of bringing where is this issue. there s no words for how important this is. like krystal said, it s truly an epidemic. i feel like i with this cause we will to bring light to these issues, we have to. one of the most important things we can do as people is to use our voice. we are important.
