@Yehuda

Just shared that with my team. Thanks for this!

@Yehuda

"the presence of Indigenous peoples - who make a priori claims to
land and ways of being - is a constant reminder that the settler colonial project is incomplete... The easy adoption of
decolonization as a metaphor (and nothing else) is a form of this anxiety... The absorption of decolonization by settler social justice frameworks is one way the settler...tries to escape or contain
the unbearable searchlight of complicity, of having harmed others just by being one’s self."

@Yehuda - I am very into what you are doing. Would love to friend you. I may like to join your instance g. I would love to find friends who resonate with doing something about the state of the world, namely pulling everything back into balance and harmony with the nature, as well as creating a sustainable, equitable , healthy, humane future for all the Earth's inhabitants. honest thoughtful discussions and solutions.

We are a group of Indigenous Elders and Folk Representatives

@Yehuda This was a really interesting read. Thank you for sharing! As a former liberal arts teacher, I was struck by the passage about how liberal arts education seems to want to try to make settlers indigenous and that's not a good thing.

I'm going to have to sit with this essay for a while.
