Image provided is a list titled 'Eight Stages of White Settler-Colonial Denial,' which lists the following stages:

1. "They didn't exist" (terra nullius) Complete denial of Indigenous presence in a given area (country, province, etc). Includes denial of Indigeneity, e.g. "Indigenous Peoples are Settlers too".

2. "If they did, the weren't here" (terra nullius) Denial that Indigenous People inhabit/travel/harvest/exist in a specific area. Often based on euro-centric definitions of evidence of occupation.

3. "If they were, they didn't use the land" (doctrine of discovery) Denial that Indigenous People have a connection with the Land. Often based on euro-centric worldviews of the land as something to be owned and extracted.

4. "If they did, they didn't deserve it" (great chain of being) Denial that Indigenous People have rights to their Lands. Often based on euro-centric value judgements of "primitive vs. civilized", "nomadic vs. sedentary".

5. "If they did, they lost it" (right of conquest) Denial that Indigenous People retain their rights to their Lands. Often based on colonially imposed European systems of law / "might makes right" worldviews.

6. "If they didn't, it doesn't matter any more" (Westphalian sovereignty) Denial that Indigenous Rights are still binding and take precedence. Often based on false claims of supremacy of colonial legal institutions and systems.

7. "If it does, we need to move on" (liberalism) Denial that violations of Indigenous Rights require redress. Often based on on claims redress is "disruptive/unfair/reverse racism" & false calls for "equality".

8. "If we can't, we are you" (self-indigenization) Denial of separateness of Indigenous Peoples and Rights. Often based on attempts to reduce Indigenous Rights to Human Rights, claim Indigeneity, etc.

Girl Scout Cookie Time!

You can buy cookies online from any troop with a page set up. People bought so many cookies from troop 6000 (who is based out of a homeless shelter in NYC) that is broke the counter on the website.

Here’s six troops from high poverty areas that may struggle to reach their goals. Individual troops list on their page what they’re doing with funds. for many of these its simple things like badges or craft supplies. Get yourself some cookies.

troop 168 Sabra Grande, Puerto Rico

Troop 3559 Chinlee, Az (Navajo nation)

Troop 31897 Meadow Bridge, West Virginia

Troop 70115 Rena Lara, Mississippi

Troop9626 Kykotsmovi Village, AZ -Hopi Nation

Troop 30349 Darien, GA

You can also just donate cookies on there and they’ll be distributed to the local community. (I work at food pantry here and clients are always excited to see cookies on the shelves)

You can look up your local troop by zip code on https://www.girlscouts.org/ If they’re similarly struggling to raise funds, reblog and add ‘em on to the chain.
