Hello! I'm one of the moderators over on the most active Native American subreddit, /r/IndianCountry. I want to extend our mod team's gratitude and praise to the mod team of /r/Anarchism for selecting us as the subreddit of the week and becoming one of our friends. We truly appreciate it.

Our Goal

At /r/IndianCountry, we want to create an environment where Native American issues can be discussed freely. These discussions include a variety of things such as our cultures, languages, and activities. Our goal is to help educate, not only ourselves, but everyone on these topics. Therefore, we invite both Natives and non-Natives here and openly welcome anyone to come and learn.

We want this environment to be fair toward all. We want to have a multitude of opinions, for it encourages discussion and learning. We discuss openly between ourselves subjects that are of a concern to us. Our agenda, in the end, is to advocate Native American beliefs, actions, histories, cultures, values, organizations, sovereignty, spirituality, and individuals.

Many of us do not identify ourselves as anarchists over on /r/IndianCountry, yet we acknowledge that many of our viewpoints coincide, concerning areas like racism, the government(s), and the economic status of people. Therefore, we welcome anyone from here to come on over and check us out!
