Cherokee Chief Hoskin Statement: Dangerous Hate Speech Targets Native Professor on Twitter/X

Ann Coulter’s post this evening on X that “we didn’t kill enough Indians,” is beyond abhorrent. It is dangerous hate speech designed to inflict damage on a marginalized community and designed arose support in the deepest darkest gutters of social media. Although it is tempting to decline to dignify her regressive attack on Native Americans, I cannot and will not. This is no time for timidity.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) emphatically condemns the hateful, genocidal statement of Ann Coulter on July 6, 2025, through a post on the social platform X, declaring: “We didn’t kill enough Indians.” There is no place in society for this direct incitement of hatred and violence toward American Indian and Alaska Native people.

FARMINGTON, New Mexico -- John Redhouse, Dine' and Ute, described the Long Hot Summer of 1974, during the launch of his new book, describing the resistance to the torture murders of Navajos in the bordertown of Farmington by white teenagers.

John describes how the coal mining, and oil and gas industry, drew racists to this bordertown, as he launched his new memoir, Bordertown Clashes, Resource Wars, Contested Territories: The Four Corners in the Turbulent 1970s.

John said there are times when there is no choice but to "strike back with the decisiveness of a rattlesnake."
