Māori are protesting what they call New Zealand's "most racist piece of legislation in 100 years." The Treaty Principles Bill seeks to effectively dissolve the special constitutional status of Māori.

When you're busy stealing a people's land, you treat everyone there as the enemy.
#Colonialism in a nutshell!
“Colonialism demands history begin past the point of colonization precisely because, under those narrative conditions, the colonist’s every action is necessarily one of self-defense. The story begins not when the wagons arrive, but only after they are circled." - Omar El Akkad

Mohammed Usrof from the Palestinian Institute for Climate Strategy joined our first Earth Month call to speak about the inextricable connections between US-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people and the climate crisis.
An hour and a half of thoughtful and informed discussion with Professor Avi Shlaim ..

This. Every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
"Adventurer's trek claim 'ignorant', say islanders"
David Hempleman-Adams' daughter Camilla had an astonishingly expensive holibob ski-touring a Canadian island, and made some grandiose claims about being the first woman to do so. Cue the somewhat surprised locals, who pointed out that their womenfolk - and even men - have been doing it on a yearly basis since before history was invented.
Note also the politician's apology:
"I am truly saddened that the coverage of my journey may have caused concern or upset..."
Well, no: the upset is mainly about the claims you made, not the journey or its coverage.

#Indigenous "#ReMattering": A conversation with #DavidShaneLowry, PhD
"Sheeva Azma talks to Dr. David Shane Lowry about his work magnifying #IndigenousPerspectives from an anthropological perspective, including in science and technology, and science communication.
"Dr. Lowry serves on the faculty at the University of Southern Maine. He earned his BS from MIT and both Master’s and PhD from UNC Chapel Hill, all in anthropology. He is an anthropologist and member (citizen) of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. He grew up in the #Lumbee community in Robeson County, North Carolina. In 2021-22, he was Distinguished Fellow in #NativeAmerican Studies at MIT, where he led a new conversation at MIT about the responsibilities of MIT (and science/technology education, more generally) in the theft of American Indian land and the dismantling of American Indian health and community. From 2022 to 2023, he was Visiting Senior Fellow in the School of Social Policy at Brandeis University. At USM, Dr. Lowry runs the #IndigenousRelationshipsLab as a place for and commitment to #justice and re-mattering of American Indian and other Indigenous peoples from #Maine, to #Massachusetts, to #NorthCarolina. David writes and hosts conversations on InTrust [link below]."

#DavidShaneLowry Calls for More Than a #LandAcknowledgement in Talk Hosted by Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archeology
by Christian Estrada and Tayla Stempson
Oct 18, 2024
"On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, the Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archeology hosted a talk by David Shane Lowry, a member of the #Lumbee Tribe and an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Southern Maine. His discussion centered on settler #colonialism, the #LandBack movement, and the importance of returning #IndigenousLands to their original owners.
"In an interview with The Phillipian, Lowry urged students to grapple with #IndigenousHistory in the current era, not just the past. He expressed his hopes for Andover students not to shy away from uncomfortable situations.
"'You have to make Native and Indigenous peoples part of today. They can’t merely be part of events/politics/wars in the past. Every experience that you all at PA have with your local and national community ought to be to work to reverse the realities that allow you to live comfortably outside of relationships with Native and Indigenous peoples,' wrote Lowry in an email to The Phillipian."

Breaking the Silence on Palestinian Armed Struggle: A Call for Legal Clarity
“Palestinian people’s use of force to resist foreign oppression and complete the establishment of an independent state is an inalienable right,” the Chinese Ambassador said, insisting that “the struggle waged by peoples for their liberation, right to self-determination, including armed struggle against colonialism, occupation, aggression, domination against foreign forces should not be considered terror acts”.
Chilling quote here from English colonist Edward Waterhouse, 1622: "Now their cleared grounds in all their villages (which are situate in the fruitfullest places of the land) shall be inhabited by us” #colonialism
@csgraves it's not empty land, there are people living there, in harmony with nature which is why it looks empty to the uneducated colonialist eye.
Leave the Indigenous alone you weirdos!
A Billionaire making The Bay Great Again is solving something no one believes is a problem.
Let The Bay sink into its dark colonial swamp and leave it there.
