Nice to see another Polynesian, Native American. Both my parents are Native Hawaiians, of varying blood quantums. I have a Native American great-grandfather (Creek), who was from Alabama, who married my great-grandma who was Hawaiian. We are still proud of our Native American heritage although we live out here in Hawaii. Aloha!
Thank you for providing this content so as to help me be a better ally. Voices like yours must be centered if we are ever to truly decolonize this world.
I was doing an indigenous sci-fi story based on Aztec warfare. Technically, I was drawing ideas of it, like naming some of the countries after the Aztec gods, making the world more modern mayincatec, military uniforms that look like late 19th century imperial uniforms carrying 20th century guns, fighting in melee with swords and macuahuitls, while everyone else, like the civilians, wear modern clothes with Aztec patterns and jewelry, making their religion monotheistic with shape shifting snakes as their patron spirits hired by the Feathered Serpent. Like it’s Dynasty Warriors combined with Native American culture.
I agree with everything said, but the non inclusion of Indigenous men as one of the people being oppressed is troubling. The role men and women play together in the community has also been left out and needs to be addressed. Native men are 3X more likely to die a violent death than any other living in North America.

Masterful sharing of an ignored history still in the making
