These are Indigenous boys.
Long hair has not signified femininity for most of recorded human history.
To the Indigenous mind, long hair repersents memory and connection to culture.
Short hair for males is a very recent Caucasian aesthetic .
Every school year, Indigenous parents have to fight with schools to allow their sons to keep their long hair. Braids are a symbol of strength, wisdom, and are something that reflects an Indigenous boy's identity. Little indigenous boys with braids should be be proud of them because that was something most of their grandfathers couldn't have in residential schools. In fact, the first thing that happened to them was to have their braid cut off. Today, Indigenous boys are teased mercilessly by non-Indigenous children who remain ignorant of the significance of long hair to Indigenous people. The bullying and teasing cause many young Indigenous boys to cut their hair to escape the bullying. With Gender Identity being pushed in the schools, many ignorant teachers will even try to gaslight Indigenous boys into thinking they are not boys at all, but girls. Indigenous children face the same obstacles in the modern school system that their grandfathers did due to the Settler obsession with Gender Ideology. The teachers have become the bullies. Just as in the past, they are not indoctrinating our children into their ideology because something is wrong with our children, they are doing it because there is something is very wrong with THEM.
Teacher, leave those kids alone!
"Long hair is more than just aesthetics or fashion for indigenous people – it’s deeply woven into our cultural and spiritual identity. Our hair is recognized as an extension of our body and spirit, and embodies a connection to the Great Mystery. Long hair is revered as a reflection of the long grasses of this Mother Earth, evoking a sense of unity and connection with the natural world. This is why our hair is often adorned with culturally significant items such as beads, feathers or fur, which further express our connection to the environment.
For many Indigenous nations, long hair is considered to be a physical manifestation of the growth of the spirit. In many cultures, hair is believed to possess spiritual powers, acting as a highly developed conduit of the nervous system, transmitting important information and energy to various parts of the brain. Hair is seen as a type of "feeler" that connects an individual to a range of spiritual and emotional experiences, making the hair an integral part of an individual’s being and sacred identity.
The act of touching someone's hair without permission is considered disrespectful, especially when it comes to children or elders. In some communities, cutting one's hair is done during times of mourning or to signify a major life change. Cut hair is expected to never be thrown away, but ceremonially burned with sage or sweetgrass to release our hopes, prayers, thoughts, and dreams. Braided hair represents our union with all life, signifying the strength, unity and compassion of community." - John Gonzalez Standing Bear Network
