/r/Politics now has user-selectable flair representing Indigenous Nations.

Posted: 11 Mar 2022 06:42 PM PST

Since 2016, /r/Politics has given users the option to represent themselves using flair text & icons next to their usernames. These flairs started with primarily the 50 U.S. States, and have expanded slightly to include U.S. territories such as Guam as well as more general flairs like "American Expat" and "Europe".

Recently, a user brought up our lack of flairs representing American Indian tribal nations. Due to the unique governmental status of these tribes and their interplay with federal & local governments, the /r/Politics mod team decided it was definitely a fair request to let community members here within tribal nations represent themselves that way as well. While the U.S. federal government recognizes over 500 tribes, we don't have various resources to add that many flairs. Consequently we have elected to add new flairs for the 13 tribes & tribal groups that are largest by population:

Unagan
Dena
Tlingit-Haida
Inuit
Pueblo
Iroquois
Blackfeet
Apache
Chippewa
Sioux
Chahta
Diné
Cherokee

In addition, for any users here who wish to demonstrate tribal membership but don't affiliate with any of the groups above, we've added an "Indigenous" flair represented by a Turtle Island flag.

You can learn more about flair on /r/politics and how to apply it to yourself here in our wiki.

It's Saturday, folks. Let's all kick back with a cup of coffee and share some cartoons!

Feel free to share political cartoons in this thread. Besides our usual civility policy, there are three rules to follow:

Every top-level comment must contain a political cartoon. This means no text-only top-level comments.
It must be an original cartoon. This means no photographs, no edited cartoons, no templates, no memes and no image macros. OC is allowed, as is animation.
Each top-level comment should only have a maximum of 3 cartoons.

That's all. Enjoy your weekend!
