People commenting on that post about how “some traditions aren’t sustainable anymore” as if indigenous people are dumb savages ignorant about modern ecosystems and how human actions affect the world around us, good and bad.

Spoiler alert: indigenous groups are more than aware of how their traditions need to change to fit this ever changing world. They lead movements to reintroduce species to their natural ecosystems. They use invasive animal species for food sources, hunting them excessively to try to get control over the populations. They fight to revive land destroyed by deforestation and climate change.

If you can’t acknowledge how indigenous people are at the forefront of pretty much every environmentalist movement, then uh. You’re a fucking racist lmao

Literally just look at indigenous australia and the burn off traditions theyve had for years which revitalize the land and allow lots of australian fauna to flourish

A lot of Turtle Island tribes have maintained their lands with controlled burning too. It’s no coincidence that those lands, under federal “ownership”, are now rife with horrific wildfires.

Indigenous people know what they’re doing, but because people don’t respect our people enough to give us control over our own lands, all we can really do is watch the disasters happen and beg for the settlers in control to listen for once.
