how can i write about my people and our issues if an outsider owns the rights to our written history and our oral history is being destroyed.
to access local newspapers which contain the small amounts of our historical struggles i must buy a thousand dollar plane ticket and go to a few certain libraries, despite all of these newspapers being scanned, typed out, and well indexed, but i cannot access them because of copywrite
when i want to share the beauty, joy, and suffering of my peoples faces, share our beloved homes, images of who we are, i cannot because some xaldo, some outsider, captured the likeness of our faces, of our homes, our land, and now owns it and i cannot use it, we cannot use it
there are no exceptions for us, laws pertaining to indigenous right to this material would necessitate that the state even recognize us as indigenous which they have no reason to do!! why would they!!
this is why i do the first place!! so that one day we will have rights to our land, our history, and our faces!! but copyright as always will remain of a tool in colonialism
