I would love to forward that twitter to that Tawnee people and ask her to define social activism since she's so big on that term, but I'm not setup on Twitter.
A few people have asked people like Tawnee (or @tavisford) about specifics like that and there is basically 3 response types:
1) ignored (most common)
2) Denied (aka: the media is misrepresenting what happened!)
3) Dismissed entirely as "not part of the big picture, focus on the larger failings of the capitalist system and its exploitation of native land"
