hey guys its indigenous peoples day so it'd be really cool if you guys donated or signed petitions pertaining to native hawaiians and other polynesian indigenous peoples! i feel like we tend to get overlooked on days like this, but we should be lifting each other up! we're allies! so heres a link for hawaiipeoplesfund.org, a list of links for aboriginal lives matter, and the hawaii land trust website where you can donate and read more about how we've lost our land! and if you own an ukulele, try to learn more about it and support some local artists! mahalo!
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (Indigenous Australians) are not Polynesian. As far as I know, Indigenous Peoples’ Day is a day to honour the Indigenous peoples of the Americas (I’m sure there’s nuances to this I’m missing being Australian). The Aboriginal Lives Matter link goes to an article that lists organisations specific to Indigenous Australians and particularly relating to the issue of the disproportionate incarceration of Indigenous Australians and Aboriginal deaths in custody. The link itself is a good resource, but we are not the “other Polynesian Indigenous peoples” that need to be remembered on this day.
