Daniel Nightbird is an Ojibwe teen living on the Leech Lake reservation who’s taking care of his young sister alone. Down to his last dollar, when he’s suddenly evicted it sets in motion a desperate search for a safe place on the Rez, which is harder to come by than even he imagined.

“

— Hey, hippie girl, you Mexican? On both sides?
— Front & back, I say.
— You sure don’t look Mexican.

A part of me wants to kick their ass. A part of me feels sorry for their stupid ignorant selves. But if you’ve never been farther south than Nuevo Laredo, how the hell would you know what Mexicans are supposed to look like, right?

There are the green-eyed Mexicans. The rich blond Mexicans. The Mexicans w/the faces of Arab sheiks. The Jewish Mexicans. The big-footed-as-a-German Mexicans. The leftover-French Mexicans. The chaparrito compact Mexicans. The Tarahumara tall-as-a-desert-saguaro Mexicans. The Mediterranean Mexicans. The Mexicans w/Tunisian eyebrows. The negrito Mexicans of the double coasts. The Chinese Mexicans. The curly-haired, freckled-faced, red-headed Mexicans. The Lebanese Mexicans. Look, I don’t know what you’re talking about when you say I don’t look Mexican. I am Mexican. Even though I was born on the U.S. side of the border.

Anzaldúa vive!

“Nobody’s going to save you. No one’s going to cut you down, cut the thorns thick around you. No one’s going to storm the castle walls nor kiss awake your birth, climb down your hair, nor mount you onto the white steed. There is no one who will feed the yearning. Face it. You will have to do, do it yourself.”

“Black, Latino, Native American, and many Asian youth are portrayed as the purveyors of violence, traffickers of drugs, and as envious of commodities that they have no right to possess. Young black and Latina women are represented as sexually promiscuous and as indiscriminately propagating babies and poverty. Criminality and deviance are racialized.”

- Angela Davis

President Obama, responding to the Pentagon report released this week, issued a stern warning to service personnel, saying, “If we find out somebody’s engaging in this stuff, they’ve got to be held accountable, prosecuted, stripped of their positions, court-martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged. Period.”

He also made a promise to individuals who report such crimes: “I’ve got your backs.” But does his administration really?

It’s great he’s saying this (while it’s sad that it’s necessary), but we need the administration to also walk the walk. Saying how perpetrators should be punished is vital, but…it means nothing if no one punishes.

For example, Occidental College apparently has a great sexual assault policy, but the administration in charge of enforcing it sucks; they refuse to do the right thing and this is why it has federal cases pending against it.

Too often, it seems, we belittle – and even mock – people and situations that should garner love and support. Too often we fail to acknowledge the humanity and inherent imperfections in others, instead choosing to condemn and forsake them for falling short, being different or disagreeing. Ms. Lauryn Hill is one of those people, and her situation is one of those situations deserving of support and love.

The “Free Lauryn” project is not some fluff piece or propaganda tool; rather, it is aimed simply to present a front of solidarity with Ms. Hill as she confronts her legal difficulties in a more public arena than previous years have allowed. Instead of being in any way stymied, we want the shirt to be a sigil representative of those who stand in support – a symbol from which she can draw strength as she faces the oppression beset her.

L-Boogie may now embody the Lost One, but she is still the joy of many worlds. Help us help her remember that by sharing what makes Lauryn important to you, how she has impacted your life, well-wishes and any other positive energy via social media channels using the hashtags:

#FreeLaurynHill, #DearMsHill and/or #FreeLBoogie
