Colonial and Indigenous traditional relationships and where they cross sect .. started with first contact .. from there we can look at habits, routines, behaviours and actions that have transpired and those are what speak about the inter-secting .. a pattern is evident and witnessed .. what we see is more important than what we think (past/present/future)
Here in germany we are currently experiencing a financial crisis because of the ukraine war, many different groceries have become much more expensive and rare because of it, groceries that are native to our land, instead of growing these things we import and export the same product just so we can have peace with other countries... It infuriates me how much we are destroying the land of the earth at every turn, everything has to be destructive and fanancially gaining, if they can't get rich from it they won't even bother. It deeply hurts me to see how we are forcing this mindset onto other cultures, tribes in africa must live in houses they cannot build with the resources there, they must eat food they cannot grow and dress in clothes they do not need, and so we have taken it upon ourselves to steal their generational knowledge of survival, strip them from their cultures and enforced them to sit still and acceot our "charity", as the trees die and the plants dry out making their survival now depend on the retail worker here in europe who should donate for some water. I don't know why we feel the need to take a perfectly good thing and destroy it just because it isn't our way, and our ways aren't even working, we discover a way of transportation that requires 3 types of non renewable resources that all are detrimental to our environment and then force everyone to use it, we take the seeds out of the food so people can no longer grow it themselves to make them dependent on our processed overprices imported food. It amazes me how kind, peaceful and compassionate those that have been wronged by my people are all while we seem so angry and selfish... I am not askind for forgiveness as I am not responsible for these things just because I was born here, what I am is greatful, for the knowledge you have shared with me today, the earth is filled with medicine, all around us are things to help us but we have taken this knowledge and shamed it away, pulled the weeds, if it doesn't come with a label and a plastic container it seems like we won't use it... Once again I would like to thank you for reminding me what the earth provides, and although I would love to learn how to basket weave I will keep to reusing what was already made and reduce waste. Thank you
Thanks for this video. Could you tell me which academic program you pursuing where this field course is a part of. I am interested in pursuing such a program. I am in Edmonton and I am currently learning indigenous knowledge.
