    the hunting for sport of humans by colonialist in parts of Sth America through to the 1970s, the #OpiumWars, the #Holodomor, the #ArmeniaGenocide the British caused famine around (?) Dehli, the grossly negligent prep for Indian independence, slavery in the Americas and the oppression of #NativeAmericans, #Maori and #Aboriginals in still-colonised lands, I was surprised.

    But didn't do the work.

  7. CW: Historical killings etc

    2/3
    #RichardTrugden in #WhyWarriorsLieDownAndDie presented a history of #EastArhmenland #Yolngu #Aboriginals interacting closely with #PearlingLuggers from #Japan. In this history repeated abuses of the locals lead to violent responses and luggers being burnt in the mangroves.
    This was very different to what this history said about the interactions of the locals with traders from the #Malaccas.

  8. The Guardian: *Australia rejects change to constitution in referendum*

    🖕 A big FUCK YOU MATES to all Australian people who voted NO! You are still the same colonizers as 200 years ago!

    The question is also; why a referendum for basic human rights? What's next? A referendum that minorities have a right to exist? Or even a referendum with the question; "Do you think that white people are the rightful owner of Australia?" That's why referendums (at least on national level) are anti-democratic. It enables the dictatorship of the majority. Parliamentary democracy is also problematic of course, but that has at least some checks and balances.

    So SHAME ON YOU AUSTRALIA! 🔥🇦🇺🔥

  9. Sickness Country

    Not far from #Kakadu are deposits of #uranium. #Aboriginals have known to avoid this area for centuries—it is known as "sickness country". The artwork shown here depicts a person with swollen joints—the first signs of radiation poisoning.

    #Bula (The Creator) and #Bolung (The #RainbowSerpent)

    "Our land was first created by Bula, who came from saltwater country to the north. With his two wives, the Ngallenjilenji, he hunted across the land and in doing so transformed the landscape through his actions. In a number of places, Bula left his image as paintings in rock shelters. Bula finally went under the ground at a number of locations north of Katherine in an area known to us as 'Sickness Country'. It is called this because the area is very dangerous, and should not be disturbed for fear that earthquakes and fire will destroy the world… Bolung the Rainbow Serpent inhabits the deep green pools found in the Second Gorge. We do not fish in the pools where Bolung sits. When fishing close to these pools, we can take only a small portion of the fish caught and throw back the rest in order to appease Bolung. Drinking water must not be taken from these deep pools but rather from the shallow associated waters. Pregnant women and new initiates may not swim in the Katherine River for fear of disturbing Bolung, who must not be spoken to and must be left undisturbed.”
