The second longest is civil rights activist Mumia Abu-Jamal.

The second longest is civil rights activist Mumia Abu-Jamal. | The longest held political prisoner in United States history is American Indian Movement leader Leonard Peltier of the Chippewa Nation. In 1977 he was convicted of a crime which he didn't commit. Others accused with him were tried earlier & found innocent of the murder of 2 FBI agents. When Peltier's time came, the FBI used everything from a witness who contradicted herself to jury intimidation to slant the trial. He has been incarcerated for half a century, while being denied medical treatment for dental problems & diabetes. Every president since his conviction has refused to offer him a pardon. There's a great documentary about his case called "Incident at Oglala." | image tagged in leonard peltier,innocent,native american,white supremacy,racism,injustice | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Hogan means: "dwelling."

Hogan means: "dwelling." | Made from earth & wood, the hogan is based on the first Navajo dwelling, built for them by Beaver & Coyote. A form of sacred architecture, the Hogan represents the universe. Like the homes of wild bees & some birds, the entrance faces East to accept the warmth of the rising Sun. Support logs are raised towards the north, south & west sides of the building. Besides stabilizing the structure, they represent female, male and two spirit (non-binary) energy. Mud & pieces of wood make up most of the structure, with some crystals embedded for spiritual protection. A ceremony is performed upon the completed house: those who will live there & those who helped in its construction honor the sun with a clockwise march around the building while chanting "The Blessing Way," which describes the making of the Hogan & honors ancestors. | image tagged in native american,home,building,historical | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Don't do the "tomahawk chop" at sporting events.

Don't do the "tomahawk chop" at sporting events. | Tomahawk is an Algonquin word meaning "striking weapon," yet the chopper which now bears that name was not created by Red People. We weren't doing a lot of metal work centuries ago. It's essentially a small European battle-ax that was marketed to us--thus the name. In movies it tends to be thrown around, but that's not how it was really used. Like a war club or sword, you keep it in your hand constantly. Throwing away your melee weapon is not a winning move. | image tagged in tomahawk,native american,history of the world,battle,capitalism | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
