Dear Emperor Martok, my name is Jim Mitchell i am 6 years old i live on Mars. The cruel Federation regime has stolen my people's independence and erased our culture and heritage. Their imperialist Starfleet stooges force us to survive by watching plays and apologizing to one another all day. Please send Class 5 B'rell Birds-of-Prey equipped with cloaking devices and Pu'DaH dak cha photon torpedos to free my people from these Federation P'takhs. My people yearn for freedom.

exciting news from wiktionary https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/my_people_yearn_for_freedom
This post is a gift to me because now i get to tell you that in the absolutely fucking terrible Romulan War enterprise books they do this, there's confedrated martian colony made up of native americans that all talk like libertarians about whether the Romulan War can take away their freedom and force them into federation control and its just as racist and post 9/11 brained as it sounds
HAHAHAH oh my god. Maybe they know Chakotay's tribe that was taught all their native wisdom by the white alien precursor race (Prodigy has apparently revealed that the White Aliens were actually taught THEIR wisdom by Wesley Crusher). This post was inspired by watching TOS with my friend who's watching it for the first time, we got to the first klingon episode that is just a bizarrely on the nose Korean war allegory
star trek is like 10 strikes into native american stories. Its time to hang up those spurs, as it were
The only good Native story was written by a Native American for the TOS Animated show. It also won an Emmy. BTW Kukulkan is real in Star Trek Cannon.
Please, Emperor. They don't have targ hunting on Mars. They've even banned killing someone to eat their heart
I thought that this referred to the offhand Short Treks/Picard note that, oh, after terrorists attacked Mars the Federation "deactivated" all the synthetic folks (totes not ethnic cleansing!), but then I realized that the people complaining about that are stored quietly on a shelf somewhere for when they deserve minimal civil liberties again...
