It has never been more obvious to me that the way we look at the world differs, depending on if you’re indigenous or not, as when I went to Giron Sámi Teahter’s play Co2lonialNation. One scene starts off with two young Saami girls arguing about blood quantum, only to finish off their story by talking about sexual abuse, and throughout this, Swedes were laughing, because the actors were pretending to be children. 

Instead of listening to the story that was being told, they got hung up on the way in which it was delivered, and laughed it all off as a comedic piece snuck into the serious context of a fictive truth commission. Meanwhile I was sitting there, trying not to cry because all the numerous, varied ways in which colonial ideas of blood and purity have distorted our communities cannot be counted, and the number of people I know who are victims of abuse, sexual and otherwise, in my own community are far too many.

Neither of the two Saami artists in the Swedish and Norwegian outtakes to the ESC won. 

So I’ll support Australia this year, as their artist is an Aboriginal youth from the Yorta Yorta People.

Indigenous rights are indigenous rights, no matter where you are from.

Sharing this post as well, because it has more notes than my own. Áslat is a well-spoken advocate for indigenous rights, and it fills my heart with sadness to know that the government of Finland is contemplating signing a bill into law that would constitute a cultural genocide on Áslat’s ancestral homelands.

The Australian state and all of its institutions are built on genocide, slavery, and oppression. January 26th, Invasion Day, marks the anniversary of the beginning of European oppression in Australia.

With love, Laila Paulina
