I'm seeing a lot of colonials misusing ancient #Indigenous words.

Language may be a tool for dispossessing not only land, but twisting minds.

You could say, "They respect their land, as their ancestors are buried on it."

But they say, "They worship their land because its filled with ghosts and demons."

There must be many more examples of this. The white man misrepresenting animism. Respect of life is not worship of an invisible god.

Yet, so much #history has been lost in white male translation through #projection

Maybe some history needs #Editing

It ain't 1871, and we know better now.
