Anarchy and Native American political activism

With a basis in resistance to institutional authority, anarchy appeals to some politically minded Native Americans. Historically, Indigenous anarchists played a significant role in the Mexican Revolution.

Although the term is often used in popular culture to be synonymous with chaos, modern Native anarchists also incorporate the development of collaborations and trade to benefit the collective good.

Join Native America Calling to talk with Indigenous people who adhere to an anarchist philosophy about how it guides their lives and their views on the upcoming elections.
