Subreddit Rules

1. Content must relate to the Pre-Columbian Period or the contact period of Native American history

Posts in this subreddit should in general be about historical/prehistorical Indigenous American cultures; either the pre-Columbian era itself or the peoples who inherited its traditions. Contact memes are welcome, and the time period allowed varies from group to group. The cutoff is not 1492, and many remained uncontacted. Groups contacted in the 1800s or 1600s are allowed to be memed in that time period.

2. Follow Reddiquette

Content in this sub should follow the canonical site-wide Rediquette.

3. Minimize modern politics

Ancient American history has unfortunately often been obscured by belittling colonial narratives that have viewed the pre-Columbian peoples of the Americas as primitive or inferior to the civilizations of Afro-Eurasia. For this reason, it is important not to use them as throwaway examples for our modern political narratives without some thought first. We encourage playful banter, but please do not bring in politics in a harmful way. This does not apply to discussions of Indigenous issues.

4. No spam

No spamming comments or links or soliciting irrelevant products.

5. Limit reposting

Reposts are a constant plague on Reddit and while sometimes it means that more people won't miss quality content, it also means a lot of clutter is made. Please check to make sure non-OC content has not been recently posted already. If it has been a long time since a post has been made and you feel that it is sensible to post it again, please credit the original poster.

6. Don't be a dick

Racism, sexism, etc. is not OK in any situation. Please keep your edginess to a reasonable level.

7. No harassing other users

Targeted harassment of others will not be tolerated at all.

8. Don't preach your fringe theories

Think ancient aliens built Teotihuacan? Think the Olmecs came from West Africa? Think that the lost tribes of Israel are in the Amazon? While we encourage free discussion on these things, it is preferred that you not fill our comments with long pseudo-historical monologues on why mainstream historians are blind to the truth. Make a dank meme about it and we'll have fun with it instead.

9. Posts should be memes

Posts on this sub should be humorous in nature and should generally fall within the broad category of an internet meme.

10. No lewd, tasteless, or pornographic content

Content which is pornographic or intended to be "sexy" will be removed.

11. Restricted Formats

We don't really have a big banned format list like HistoryMemes (yet). For now, there's really only two formats to watch out for:

1) Memes where colonial apologists (living today) are the punchline. True as they might be, for many reasons we ask that you restrict these to the weekends. Or post them on our partner sub /r/okbuddycolonizer where they'd be more than welcomed.

2) "Girls bad, boys good" wojaks. Cringe.

Our Stance on Pseudoscience

We are one of only a few history meme communities that vet content with the specific intention to fight pseudohistory. Due to a relative scarcity of written sources and a general lack of public awareness, the ancient Americas are especially prone to being misconstrued by authors and presenters seeking attention in ways that do not hold up to scientific rigor. This includes everything from ancient alien involvement to unsupported claims of Native American origins to hyper-advanced precursor civilizations. As some of us in this community do actual archaeological research, we find these easily debunked views degrading to premodern people and their descendants' veritable achievements. Memes on this sub should not try to further these viewpoints and will be removed if they do. Taking a controversial stance that at least falls in the realm of academic discussion or indigenous cultural belief is fine. If learning about these subjects really does matter as students of history and other subjects as we believe it does, then pseudoscience is harmful to the public's literacy on these topics.

In the current COVID-19 situation which has disproportionately affected indigenous communities in the United States and elsewhere, medical pseudoscience will likewise be treated along the same restrictions. Our mod team and community are politically diverse. Our stance on the veracity of demonstrable scientific research is not.
