Heyo, new Member on Lemmy, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the past threads and information contained on this site, and feel confident in the knowledge of my fellow comrades here, so I wanted to create a thread to talk about the Land Back movement in the US.

I am not from the US, and have never had a long conversation with Native-Americans. I am mostly ignorant of their conditions and demands, and as such on what Land Back entails as a whole. I was hoping someone more informed could share some resources on what Land Back is, what it looks like in concrete terms, why it is not only necessary but useful, and whatever else may be relevant.

What I already know is the following: The US was founded as a settler colony, and and that history manifests itself in multiple ways in the country today, from its national mythology, its flavour of individualism, Racism, etc. The Native population has been subjected to genocide and cultural assimilation, largely destroying it.

My questions then would be: Is there a significant self identifying native population left to redistribute land to? What does redistribution look like? What use is Land Back from a short term revolutionary perspective?
