Great story and history here as the First Nation in Yuquot, the home and nation of Maquinna who first met Spanish colonizers in the 1700s on the West Coast of Canada. It includes stained glass windows donated by the Government of Spain in the 1950s when this structure was built.

"It's a striking combination of elements, in a building that still wears the mark of a Euro-centric worldview. At the church’s entrance are two stained glass windows that were donated by Spain in the 1950s, depicting Europeans in the centre as the local First Nations are in the darkened periphery.

“These windows are now jarring remnants from a colonial past,” explained the First Nation on its website. “One window shows representatives of Britain and Spain, Quadra and Vancouver, conferring about ‘sovereignty’ over Nootka Sound in 1791.””

A new book shines a light on how Indigenous nations resisted—and shaped—settler society in the US.

This is why I support #BDS. Israeli government stands by and lets this happen.

#Arson attack #Settler crimes

Canada has begun to confront the negative impacts of colonization and #settler culture on the #indigenouspeople of #turtleisland The recovery and recognition of #indigenous place names is an important step on the journey to #reconciliation and #Landback . It needs to be much more than an exercise in symbolism.

There are #Palestinians with the surname Sahyoun literally #Zion

Because Palestinian are the #indigenous people of #Palestine. They are the descendants of #Canaanites including Judeans and #Israelites as well as #Arabs

I hate how the #settler #Zionist movement appropriated even their surnames.

A 'get-rich' scheme
4,000 mulberry trees were planted in a #plantation in the 1870s
They hoped for a lucrative trade.
It was quite #labour intensive to actually spin the silk.
In 1878 it became a sporting ground
Today a silk handkerchief sits in a glass cabinet at the WA Museum, Boola Bardip.It was spun in Lyon, in France, from the #silk produced at East Perth
In the end everything always ends up “Prime residential #land” in #settler #culture.

Firstly I'm going to start off with what triggered this post and why I am saying what I am.

Lately I have encountered certain people who have a mentality that everyone except them is responsible for all that has gone wrong in their perception of how things are (this was on twitter too, it has migrated here).

I do have a tech/hort background, so let me point out some things.

Do you use electricity? (copper)
Do you use a smartphone? (gold cpu, copper)
Do you use a computer?
(gold cpu, copper)
Do you eat vegetables?
(agriculture)
Do you eat meat?
(petrol, technologies)

The list goes on & on.

Now lets put this in perspective, I have ancestors that mined gold in Victoria, they migrated here during the gold rush.

I am not a "#settler", if any of those people who like to use this term to reverse discriminate against others use any of those things I pointed out above, then you are a hypocrite as you have benefited from what happened, WE ALL HAVE, now that's a fact.

So lets all think about reality before we generalize about others - OKAY.

Israelis donate over #NIS 1 #million for #Palestinian #victims of #settler #rampage

This #Times #of #Israel article reveals more about the situation in Israel/Palestine than an entire year's evasive #UK #MSM reporting

'Hundreds of #Israelis sent him threatening messages for launching the initiative, but #Fink said the thousands who decided to #donate offered “a bit of optimism amid a difficult period when the news is filled with #extremists, the #terrorists and the #arsonists.”'

Settlers' Book Club tonight on zoom, 7-8:30 p.m. Mountain. I've attended one meeting so far. Good for deepening my understanding of what being born & raised in a white and #settler dominated society has done to my brain! https://settlersbookclub.com/

Visions of Nature: How #Landscape #Photography Shaped #Settler #Colonialism, Hore, 2022
"revives the work of late nineteenth-century landscape photographers who shaped the environmental attitudes of #settlers in the colonies of the Tasman World and in California. They rode a wave of interest in #wilderness imagery and made pictures that were hung in settler drawing rooms, perused in albums, projected in theaters, and re-created on vacations. In both the American West and the Tasman World, landscape photography fed into settler #belonging and produced new ways of thinking about territory and history. During this key period of settler revolution, a generation of photographers came to associate “#nature” with remoteness, antiquity, and #emptiness, a perspective that disguised the realities of #Indigenous presence and reinforced colonial fantasies of environmental #abundance."
