What is driving racism, hate and violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people?
* "The Voice campaign...brought racism many First Nations people experience daily to the fore."
A parliamentary inquiry "follows several violent incidents, including the attack on Camp Sovereignty in Melbourne in August 2025 (and importantly, a new attack on August 2 2026), and the alleged attempted bombing of an Invasion Day rally in Perth."
"At public hearings around the country, First Nations people and organisations have described racism in workplaces, schools, public institutions and online. They have also warned racist abuse is becoming more open, more organised and easier to spread."
"...Political campaigns don’t just reflect existing prejudice. They can create moments when hostile ideas become easier to express, repeat and share.Around Anzac Day and the March for Australia, more than 96% of the hate detected directly targeted First Nations identity. White supremacist claims (that is, posts implying or explicitly asserting the superiority of White, settler or European Australians) and dehumanising language made up almost 90% of the total hateful posts.Around March for Australia alone, white supremacy accounted for 69% of detected hate."
"The findings show something important: online hate follows recognisable patterns. It builds around political campaigns, public controversies and events connected with national identity."
"The parliamentary inquiry now has an opportunity to move from recognising the problem to acting on the evidence. " >>

"Timothy Neale’s How to Control Fire on a Burning Continent
critiques the colonial logics of control deployed to manage unruly environments and explores alternative forms of environmental stewardship.""Each year, Australia faces increasingly unprecedented wildfires, marked both by their scale and by the intense public disagreements about their political, cultural, and ecological causes. How to Control Fire on a Burning Continent is a critical and ethnographic exploration of wildfire management in Australia and the technoscientific systems of control that shape its current and future possibilities. Timothy Neale observes how two seemingly opposing forces—an entrenched sense of crisis and widespread normalization—combine to form an apparatus of institutional fire management that increasingly centers technical control and militarization. While sympathetic to the double binds many fire management professionals find themselves in, Neale ties contemporary wildfire problems to ongoing colonization and Indigenous dispossession, exploring Indigenous-led land management and cultural burning as a practical assertion of sovereignty. Through dialogue and collaboration with professional fire managers and Indigenous environmental stewards, Neale calls for a collective movement beyond control thinking by fostering new alliances and modes of coping with, rather than commanding, our flammable world." >>

Lover’s Abyss
I was told as a young child
You can dream of anything
So, I dreamed I was a blue horse
midnight blue with a touch of white
gracefully strong
unafraid of the world
accepting of the unknown
beautiful essence
assuring eyes.
I was told as a student
You can’t dream anymore
its time to grow up
learn how to be an adult
learn to be practical
understand your place
abide by our laws.
As an adult
I was told
You’re a lot of trouble
try harder to fit in
let go of that childhood dream
stop messing around
be something.
I traveled this world
in spite of people’s viewpoint
I traveled as a blue horse.
Unafraid
Accepting
Assured and complete.
I saw a blue horse
with a daisy behind her ear
standing alone.
Sky blue she was
as were her eyes.
Gracefully she moved
towards the crest of twilight.
I asked if she wanted company?
She said, yes.
Beyond the crest we disappeared
into our abyss where our solitude awaited
playing with season flowers
and coupling under the stars.
The eternity we exist in
is the eternity we make.Author Michael Plante

#IndigenousKnowledge is crucial in the fight against #ClimateChange – here’s why
Explainers
July 31, 2024Summary
- Indigenous Peoples are custodians of unique knowledge and practices that emphasize the balance between humans and the natural world.
- Many Indigenous traditional practices offer effective climate solutions, such as sustainable agriculture systems and climate-resilient water management.
- By safeguarding key ecosystems that act as carbon sinks and protect #biodiversity, #IndigenousPeoples provide an environmental service to the rest of the world. However, they are frequently excluded from decision-making processes and their rights to lands and resources are not always respected.
- It is impossible to achieve the goals of the #ParisAgreement without full and effective participation of Indigenous Peoples and their free, prior and #InformedConsent.
- Governments must fully recognize the rights of Indigenous Peoples, provide them with direct access to climate finance and capacity building, and integrate Indigenous knowledge into climate policy."#SolarPunkSunday #LandBack #Conservation #Biodiversity

#TEK #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge -
I found this via @supersquirrel !
#IndigenousLands are crucial for #ClimateMitigation and #resilience.
Research shows their health is a direct result of #IndigenousStewardship.
"As the impacts of #ClimateChange continue to escalate, a growing number of climate scientists and policymakers cite Indigenous lands as a model for their rich #biodiversity and effective carbon storage. But that recognition has not always translated into space for Indigenous leaders in climate negotiations, access to #ClimateResilience funding, or enforcement of #HumanRights standards.
"That has been the case for decades. But the problems do not stop there. New research shows that approach overlooks the key role that Indigenous knowledge and culture can play in mitigating climate change. It also reveals a dangerous misconception that has taken hold in global climate discussions: the idea that Indigenous lands are so rich because they are remote or sparsely populated.
"Nothing could be further from the truth. The health of Indigenous lands and their ability to store vast quantities of carbon stem from the stewardship of the people who inhabit them.
"That’s the finding of research from Conservation International, which shows that traditional knowledge, community protocol, and Indigenous culture play a direct role in protecting forests, wildlife, and the environment. Sushma Shrestha, who is #Indigenous #Newar from #Nepal and the study’s lead author, said the research comes at a critical time.
" 'All of humanity relies on everything that #IndigenousPeoples have to contribute and offer in terms of their lands, in terms of carbon storage, in terms of biodiversity conservation,' she said.
"The study, released as a narrative report and a peer-reviewed study, explores how #IndigenousKnowledge and practices benefit the planet. It also found that all 43 of the surveyed communities are experiencing drought, extreme weather, and other adverse impacts from climate change. More than half are affected by #ExtractiveIndustries like #mining and #logging.
"Researchers interviewed 49 Indigenous leaders from six continents about how they steward their land, which ranged from the Amazon rainforest to East African savannas and Pacific Islands. They found that traditional management practices like avoiding #overfishing, maintaining sacred spaces, watching for fires and other threats, and direct resistance against extraction contribute to the remarkable health of Indigenous territory. Ninety-six percent of respondents said they had land set aside for special uses, like spiritual practices, that also benefit the environment by protecting those spaces and ecosystems. Shrestha stressed that although each Indigenous community is distinct, there are shared lessons the entire world can learn from.
" 'It’s a time where all hands need to be on deck,' Shrestha said. 'And collectively, actions need to be taken, and indigenous peoples have been doing this on their own for a very long time.'
"The study builds on years of research that shows, among other things, that the world’s healthiest forests are on Indigenous lands and conservation efforts are more effective when they incorporate Indigenous autonomy and decision-making at every step."

How to Make #Pemmican: A Traditional Native Dish
By Maria, Posted on May 2, 2025
"Readers, have you ever wondered about the nutritional powerhouse that sustained #IndigenousPeoples across North America for centuries? It’s pemmican, a truly remarkable food. This ancient recipe is not only delicious but also incredibly practical for survival situations and outdoor adventures. I’ve spent years researching and preparing pemmican; this article will be your comprehensive guide to mastering this skill.
"Making pemmican is a journey back in time, connecting us to the resourceful ingenuity of Native cultures. This detailed guide will empower you to create your own delicious and nutritious pemmican.
Understanding the History and Significance of Pemmican
"Pemmican’s origins trace back to Indigenous communities across North America. This energy-dense food played a crucial role in their survival, particularly during long journeys or harsh winters. It was a staple in their diets, providing essential nutrients.
"Various Indigenous groups developed unique variations using locally available ingredients. The core components, however, remained relatively consistent: lean meat, fat, and berries. This ensured a balanced nutritional profile.
"Pemmican’s significance extends beyond its nutritional value. It represents a deep connection to cultural heritage and traditional practices. Learning to make pemmican is a journey of understanding and respect.

An Aboriginal rock shelter was demolished during construction of a Renewable Energy Zone in NSW and the native bird habitat was cleared
Iconoclasm: From cultural landscape to rubble"The Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) demolished the rock shelter during land clearing...It is the same company that was responsible for the displacement of about 60 native bird hatchlings, left homeless after the felling of trees."
"The federal environment department investigated the matter and said it found "no evidence of non-compliance" with conditions under it's environment protection and biodiversity conservation act." >>

Social cohesion and gritted-teeth tolerance
"In 2022, for the first time in decades, the government commissioned a review of multiculturalism, Towards Fairness. It found Australia had muddled on, but squandered its world-leading status and recommended the government create a minister, a permanent commission and department for multiculturalism. Labor MP Dr Anne Aly was appointed multicultural affairs minister in 2025."
She delivered a powerful speech last November:
"Aly declared it was time to end “the conditional form of multiculturalism, that kind of gritted-teeth tolerance that,
'You are welcome here as long as your food tastes good,
your celebrations are colourful, and
your music is present to the ears.’"
"But any questioning, any speaking out, any disruptive participation in any practice of citizenship will not be tolerated. Instead, acts of citizenship afforded to the broader community are viewed as acts of defiance when performed by the other and are met with cries of, ‘Go back to where you came from,’ and ‘Love Australia or leave it.’ " >>

How #Indigenous #FoodSovereignty can improve #FoodSecurity
Sustainable Bites: Food and Our Future What can we do to help make our food systems more sustainable? UBC researchers share small steps that can make a big collective impact.
March 24, 2025
"Indigenous households experience food insecurity at rates two to three times higher than non-Indigenous households in Canada. #Agroecologist Dr. #JenniferGrenz, an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Forestry and Faculty of Land and Food Systems, studies Indigenous food sovereignty and food systems, and how to revitalize them.
Did you know?
#Kwetlal, or #camas, a lily-like plant with a starchy bulb, was an important staple for #IndigenousPeoples along the #SalishSea.
Kwetlal was cultivated in Garry oak #ecosystems by #W̱SÁNEĆ and Quw’utsun Peoples, until #colonization nearly destroyed these unique food systems.What does Indigenous food sovereignty mean?
" 'Indigenous food sovereignty is the reclamation and revitalization of our food systems,' says Dr. Grenz, who is Nlaka’pamux of mixed ancestry, whose family comes from the #Lytton First Nation. She grew up and lives on the coast of BC.
"The lands across #BritishColumbia, Dr. Grenz explains, were purposefully shaped since time immemorial for foods, medicines and technologies by the Indigenous Peoples who lived there until colonial settlers dispossessed them of their lands, culture and traditions.
" 'Indigenous food sovereignty is also about #CulturalResurgence: being able to access those foods and medicines again and find new ones as we face a changing climate,' said Dr. Grenz. 'Heal the people, heal the land. Heal the land, heal the people. I think that’s really what food sovereignty is about.'
"Revitalizing Indigenous food systems can help diversify and localize food systems in ways that could buffer against #FoodInsecurity in a changing climate.
"Dr. Grenz’s research team is working alongside Indigenous communities impacted by the 2021 heat dome and wildfires to understand the effects on culturally important plants.
" 'If you think of land as just vegetation and an aesthetic notion of what belongs, you’re going to have very different approaches and different outcomes to recovery than if you see that land as a food system, not just for humans, but for our animal, bird, fish and insect relations,' says Dr. Grenz. 'We’re working alongside communities to develop those Indigenized processes around wildfire recovery that honour Indigenous food systems, sustainability and resiliency.”'
How can #Settlers support the revitalization of Indigenous food systems?"Learn about the histories of the lands you live on and what the traditional food systems were, what they are now and what they could be, says Dr. Grenz.
"Incorporating reciprocity into your relationship with the land is also important. 'Learn about the plants of those lands and find a way to invite them into your life. How can you take care of them, nurture them and steward them?' asks Dr. Grenz.
"One way might be to Indigenize your own back yard or community garden. Or learn about Indigenous food system protocols and the concept of '#HonourableHarvest.'
How can land-based learning support Indigenous food sovereignty?"Land-based learning is an opportunity to get students and people out on the land—and start taking steps to give back while they are learning.
"At #UBCFarm, Dr. Grenz and students are starting two different Indigenous food systems to work as part of the agrarian food system that exists there — 'essentially bridging two food systems, #decolonizing and #Indigenizing our understandings of what foods are and how those two systems work together to benefit both.'
"In one, they are establishing a Garry oak ecosystem and growing camas, which is a traditional food system of the W̱SÁNEĆ and Quw’utsun Peoples. Another type of #ForestGarden, similar to other Coast #Salish, #Tsimshian or #Haida food systems, will see the forest shaped by different plants like beaked #hazelnut, #elderberry, #salmonberry and #thimbleberry.The students will be able to practice how to care for plants ordinarily thought of as forest plants, and 'learn how to reclaim traditional #LandStewardship practices to actually increase the production of those berries.' "
