a reminder that your advocacy for ending the occupation of Palestine should also extend to advocating for Indigenous and First Nations peoples' liberation in your own country. The anti-colonial struggle is a global one. Show up for Indigenous people everywhere you can because we are under occupation almost everywhere. Not to mention the Zionist occupation is supported almost exclusively by the colonial world powers. Your advocacy for the liberation for Palestine must go hand in hand with advocacy for First Nations liberation and Land Back.

January 25, 2024 - A day before the celebration of "Australia day" the statue of Captain Cook in St. Kilda, Australia, was sawn off at the ankles, with the words "The Colony Will Fall" painted on the statue's plinth.

hello, "happy" austr*lia day, here's how you celebrate:

pay each Aboriginal org or individual you see.

prepping this póst with the consent and supervision of an Aboriginal friend who's taking break from socmedia, i'd like to make it a mútual aïd train type. starting off with some Aboriginal orgs:

Change the Record - reduction of incarceration and violence focusing on community health, growth and stability

Sisters Inside - for incarcerated Aboriginal/TSI Women and Children

Pay The Rent - their slogan is "saying sorry isn't enough"

AIATSIS - focused on language and oral history preservation

The Streets Moviment - building opportunities for Aboriginal/TSI youth

here's a little catch-all article línking a few aforementioned orgs and some more.

Aboriginal folk of tumblr, feel free to add your own bànking accs so settlers can supply you directly. don't worry about the length. austr*lian settlers open your wallets + reblòğ SILENTLY.

mind you austr*lia day fell during general strike for Falasteen this year. assist the Indigenous folk next door as well, while you're at it. Indigenous struggles are all intertwined after all.

there was a swedish guy in like the early 1900s that literally just traveled to Australia, attended a funeral of an indigenous person and then HE CAME BACK A FEW WEEKS LATER TO DIG UP THE BONES TO KEEP IN HIS COLLECTION!!!!

DO YOU HEAR ME??!!!

HE WENT ON A FUNERAL AND THEN CAME BACK TO DIG UP THE BONES!!!!!!!

Thankfully the aboriginal people there had heard he had dug up bones previously and they moved the grave.

AND WHEN HE DISCOVERED THIS HE GOT MAD AND SAID THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE COULDN'T BE TRUSTED

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

#the guys name was Erik Mjöberg for anyone wondering #he was absolutely disgusting AND SMUGGLED BONES OF ABORIGINAL PEOPLE OUT OF AUSTRALIA #If this doesn't tell you about attitudes at the time towards indigenous people from europeans #I don't know what does #Sweden #History #aboriginal #hate crimes tw #i don't know if this counts as a hate crime but I'll still put it there to be safe #regardless it's still definitely a crime towards and disgusting treatment of indigenous people

Here's something new to know about me. I'm a Murramarang woman from the south coast of New South Wales, and an Aboriginal Artist. I'm learning and trying to bring Dhurga (my native language) back to life after it was nearly destroyed during colonisation.

Here are a couple of my paintings.

The first is a Giriwa (goanna), the totem of my tribe, painted in our traditional x-ray style. This type of painting was used to illustrate and educate, to teach biology and anatomy.

The second is a warigal (dingo) painted in a more decorative style, with a fusion of our more narrative style of art and my own modern style.

If you've stumbled upon this post, I hope you learned something from it! I love sharing my culture ❤💛🖤

Day 14 of my Hair Journal was painting during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPI).

I reached out to Professor Wayne Quilliam who specialized in photography of Aboriginal people (who works with the Aboriginal people and gets permission to photograph them) and he gave me permission to reference his photography for my portrait.

https://aboriginal.photography/

For the background, I referenced the traditional Aboriginal Dot Painting.

I always find it so interesting to paint people from all over the world. Though I bet traveling and doing it in person would be far more interesting than from my little Hobbit Hole.

Still... I really enjoyed it.

that report on Zionists abducting blonde Palestinian children to be "adopted" by Zionists makes me physically shake. I'm an Aboriginal person with extended family who were abducted by the "Australian" government decades ago and put up for "adoption" by whites as part of what is now known as the Stolen Generations. All Aboriginal children, but especially those who were lighter in features, were the target of this genocidal assimilation policy. The colonial legacy of Aboriginal child abduction on my peoples is an intergenerational abyss of cultural loss, the destruction of bloodlines, despair and grief that is still felt by every First Nations person in the country today. To be alive and witness another Indigenous people experience the same destruction by practically the same hand drowns me in anguish. Fuck settler colonial projects. Death to all of them. They're all the fucking same. Land Back for every First Nations peoples living under occupation, from Palestine to so-called Australia.

As an First Nations Indigenous Person here in Turtle Island (Canada, Northern Ontario)

I want to remind people of the terminology largely used here, at least in my community;

First Nations and Indigenous are really the only academically accepted terms for referring to us. The term "Native American" is never used here, it usually refers to those in the USA, and even then, I doubt its a proper term for there. Aboriginal used to be used, but now its mainly recognized (again, here were I live) as a term for the first peoples of Australia and New Zealand.

A lot of elders in my communities and even a lot us younger generation still also call ourselves Indians. This is NOT for white people to call us. The use of this term is complicated and needs a whole different post.

Eskim* is a slur and in Canada the only accepted term is Inuit (or Inuk, for singular).

And as an aside to all of this;

All of our tribes/bands are UNIQUE and have their OWN NAMES.

When you say any of these terms, without identifying a particular tribe (and even then you may have to narrow it down to a specific region); YOU ARE SPEAKING GENERALLY. It will not apply to all of use and every individual culture within that group.

I'm Anishinaabe/Ojibwe and Alongquin; my partner is Mohawk. We're both First Nations, but our mother tongues and teachings are still different. And even then, its different from those who are from these same tribes but live in the USA, especially in language speaking.

There is so so SO much nuance to describing First Nations Peoples and it cannot be taken for granted.

I feel as if I’m just floating through life or something. Like my whole life I haven’t really been me.
