Should Native American man be allowed to wear their hair long at school! Traditionally, long hair was always a symbol of masculinity.

Long before ships arrived, these lands were already home to thriving nations, cultures, and knowledge systems.

The word discovery ignores generations of life, language, and stewardship that existed here for thousands of years.

Honoring truth means teaching history from the beginning, not from convenience. 🪶📖

For countless generations, the Blackfeet people have carried knowledge of who they are, where they come from, and their deep connection to the Northern Plains. These truths lived in spoken stories, ceremonies, and collective memory long before outside institutions tried to define history on their own terms. What Elders safeguarded through time is now being affirmed—science is finally listening.
Recent DNA research confirms that the Blackfeet Nation has lived on the Northern Plains for at least 18,000 years. This finding is more than a scientific milestone; it is a powerful affirmation of oral tradition, cultural memory, and ancestral knowledge that endured despite repeated attempts to silence or erase it. The land has always known its people, just as the people have always known the land.
This moment carries weight because it challenges how history is told. Indigenous knowledge was never missing or mistaken—it was simply ignored. Long before textbooks, borders, and timelines written by outsiders, truth was preserved through community, continuity, and lived experience. When science chooses to listen rather than dismiss, history becomes deeper, richer, and far more honest.

History shifted along the Klamath River when the Yurok Tribe reclaimed more than 47,000 acres of ancestral land, the largest land-back agreement ever completed in California.
This land was never lost by accident.
During the Gold Rush and the decades that followed, the Yurok people were violently displaced from nearly 90 percent of their territory. Forests were logged. Rivers were dammed. Sacred places were fenced off. What remained was fragmentation, both ecological and cultural.
The land returned in May 2025 includes towering old-growth forests, cold-water tributaries, and culturally sacred sites that have sustained Yurok life since time immemorial. These forests and streams are not just symbolic. They are vital habitat for salmon, steelhead, and endangered wildlife, species that depend on clean, cold water and intact ecosystems.
For the Yurok Tribe, land-back is not about ownership in the colonial sense. It is about responsibility.
Yurok stewardship emphasizes balance, seasonal knowledge, and long-term care. Cultural burning, forest restoration, and river protection are not new ideas here, they are ancient ones, practiced continuously long before the state of California existed. Returning land to Indigenous care restores more than borders. It restores relationships.
Environmental scientists increasingly recognize what Indigenous communities have always known, ecosystems thrive when managed with patience rather than extraction. Along the Klamath, that knowledge is already being put to work, reconnecting forests to rivers and rivers to life.
This return does not erase the past.
But it changes the future.
Land-back is justice.
Land-back is restoration.
Land-back is listening.
Follow Know Your Planet for real moments where history bends toward repair, guided by those who have always known how to care for the land.

As many as 4,000 innocent Native Americans died on the evil Trail of Tears. Don’t you think the truth about the Trail of Tears should be taught in America’s schools?”
The Trail of Tears is one of the darkest chapters in American history. In the 1830s, under the Indian Removal Act signed by President Andrew Jackson, thousands of Native people—including the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Seminole nations—were forced from their ancestral homelands in the southeastern United States.
Families were rounded up, homes were destroyed, and people were marched hundreds of miles to so-called “Indian Territory” west of the Mississippi River, in what is now Oklahoma. The journey was brutal—marked by hunger, disease, exhaustion, and exposure to the elements. Historical records estimate that as many as 4,000 Cherokee men, women, and children died during the forced relocation.
For Native communities, the Trail of Tears was not just a moment of suffering, but a devastating assault on their culture, identity, and way of life. Yet even in the face of tragedy, they endured. The descendants of those who walked the trail continue to carry forward their language, traditions, and resilience today.
The message in the image is powerful: the truth of the Trail of Tears must be remembered and taught in schools. Understanding this history is not about guilt—it is about honesty. It is about ensuring that future generations know the full story of America, including the voices of those who were silenced and the struggles of those who survived.

Nothing compares to an aerial view that brings you face to face with the chief.
Crazy Horse Memorial is dedicated to honoring the memory of Crazy Horse, a prominent Native American leader of the Oglala Lakota Sioux tribe.
The primary feature of the memorial is the colossal sculpture of Crazy Horse on the face of Thunderhead Mountain. This sculpture, when completed, will be the largest sculpture in the world, significantly larger than Mount Rushmore.
