Quote by Linda Tarrant-Reid

“Being a spy during the american revolution was arole that a black person was well suited for. as the "invisible race" it was easy for blacks to gain access to information that would help either the Patriots or the Loyalists, because many on both sides did not believe that a black person had the cunning or intellect to be a spy. Black housekeepers, servants, cooks, and maids were often present when valuable information about troop positions, troop movements, and artillery and supply routes were discussed.”

“The girl stuck a feather into his knit cap and drew some dark lines on his face. Until that moment, Jason had not been sure if he would accompany the men down to the harbor. He ran his fingers over the feather. “Miss,” he asked, “I hate to whine, but do you have a longer turkey feather?” the girl pulled out his feather, grabbed a longer more colorful one from the table, and replaced it. “Oh, thank you, miss. If I am to commit treason, I believe it had best be done with aplomb.” He spoke low so that only she could hear. “You agree, of course?”

“Indigenous peoples do not destroy their homelands, colonizers do. Colonizers are adept at destroying what does not belong to them, especially when they cannot unlawfully claim or steal it. They bring harm wherever they go. They often assert that Indigenous people are helpless without them or incapable of sustaining themselves, all while being the ones who have stolen from and devastated Indigenous communities. It is colonizers who sabotage, manipulate, destroy, and interfere with the lives and lands of Indigenous peoples. They refuse to leave Indigenous people in peace with their own land and resources.”
