"When it comes to the perspective of being a refugee, or being displaced: we were displaced on our own land and we still feel the intergenerational trauma of that. We are still at war with the government that displaced us. We are still fighting the systems that were put in place to keep us dehumanized, to keep us sterilized as a people, to keep us dispossessed of our land, to keep us disenfranchised from voting in this political system that oppresses us. So it's almost like we are refugees on these Indian reservations now; but at the same time, these Indian reservations were built as prisons, both a home and a trap—like a spider web.”
