There were three waves of “Indigenous peoples” over a span of 15000 years….so, who are the “original”? And does it matter? And what is the cut off point to be “indigenous”? And just in case you missed it….they are NOT indigenous if they migrated FFS.

2 more points most ppl intentionally fail at understanding- 1) stewardship is NOT industrial ownership. She is not advocating for industrial ownership. Stewardship is a *healthy* relationship (sane, mature, grounded, and all people agreeing on a shared version of reality) built on the foundation of holistic wellness, meaning if the land is well then I am well, and if I am truly well (not the western medical industry standard of wellness) then the land will be well. 2) stewardship of land can and should be collaborative with all people who are willing and able to be in a healthy relationship with that land. Just because a tribal group has formally acknowledged “ownership” in the legal sense of modern western society doesn’t mean that all other humans of other descent can’t and shouldn’t be invited to unlearn their industrial conditioning and relearn how to be a human being on a finite and complexly and delicately interconnected planet. Legit stewardship also includes past and future generations in all decision-making and stealing or borrowing from the future is not a part of that (which is how industrial culture and its myth of limitless growth economy works)

We have land stewardship though, arrived at through our democratic processes. What she is proposing is removing land from the democratic process and giving tribes more automomy on the false premise that they are inherently better at it which given the indigenous peoples involvement in oil sands development is a very debatable statement. There is nothing to say the current governments can’t do land stewardship, its that we value other things so it is not a high priority. While there is certainly a debate about how high land stewardship should be that is a political question for our democracy to resolve not a question for indigenous governments to resolve at the exclusion of everyone else.
Corrie
January 3, 2023 at 7:52 pm
@mynameischarles you don’t understand what land stewardship really is. Industrial culture (what you call our democratic government) hasn’t stewarded anything, legitimately. It is true sustainability, not just having a few rules to keep people from dumping toxic waste into a river or something. We are currently in abrupt, exponential climate chaos as the result of ecological overshoot and collapse which is, at root, a failure by individuals and their society, namely modern governments built on the industrial paradigm, to relate to all of the planet as a living organism and family of relatives, rather than a resource to extract from and deposit waste onto. There is almost no example of true sustainability in our modern culture. For anyone truly capable of being a grown up and open to learning more, one resource (just one example of many, btw) is a video here on YT by Rev Micheal Dowd entitled Sustainability 101: Indigenuity Is Not An Option.
Corrie
January 3, 2023 at 7:57 pm
@mynameischarles and also selecting the example of “indigenous involvement in oil sands” as a way to negate and completely dismiss the FACT of effective land stewardship by original people, is just more cherry picking your narrative that you like. Also I personally feel (as I mentioned elsewhere) that all people capable of relearning connection with the land and unlearning their industrial conditioning (that land is to be used for resources and waste storage rather than living biophysical creator sustainer and end) should participate and not be excluded based on their genetic heritage.

@corrie8659 What might be in the future (future generations) has no effect, ZERO, on what happens now or on what has happened in the past.
That is nonsensical to even assume it does. We could all be dead next year due to cataclysm or for all you know. There are no guarantees in anyone’s future to rely on.
You may want to try to interject a faith based argument, but that’s not what we are talking about. Not all faiths have the same tenants so it’s foolish to even try to bring that into this.

@corrie8659 How about the devastated mega fauna by the indigenous?
How about herding animals off a cliff?
We can find plenty of examples of the eary residents behaving in unethical ways.
Just because they had primitive ways in the past doesn’t mean they were/are better stewards.
Oil sands is just a more recent example, and it shows that they are no different than anyone else.

Yes, regular people make no use of the resources “the rich” uncover and put into products and services. We all just sit on dirt and eat what we hunt and gather between songs and dance.
While some of these groups are doing great, it’s absurd to pretend that only natives restore lands, and certainly not that natives make no use of modern life.

I totally agree that what happened in the past is terrible and I also agree that we should be treating the land as a relative. I have concerns about what Land Back, or unsettling, looks like scaled up because these ideas don’t seem well thought through. Are we talking about a slow migration through attrition of non-indigenous out of North America? This leads me to a point of disagreement: that this is the only way to protect the earth. Seems like a better solution is one that involves all of us, not just a special collection of cultures and peoples. With that said, might there be a way for non-indigenous people to join in land stewardship instead of simply leaving?

And those tribes stole land from other tribes and enslaved and raped the women and killed the babies. That was life then. The Apaches did this to my tribe because they got pushed west by the Comanche who stole everyone’s land. Do I get reparations from Apaches? Do tribes in Africa owe each other for land stolen in the 1700s? This is asinine.

Indigenous means born into. All humans are indigenous to some locality. Land is not born and so is not indigenous. The word you seem to be looking for is aboriginal (‘original inhabitants’), but land is not that either. Land does not belong to anyone, but any organisms can and certainly do pretend to possess it.

This whole movement is a denial of self determination to all the so called settlers. We make decisions on land use democratically moving land to jurisdiction of native bands is to move it from democracy to something else. Also the words ‘ good’ and ‘bad’ or similar do a lot of heavy lifting. Whos says pipelines are good or bad, some people would say they are better than the alternative of rail transportation making them better then the alternative. Fact is the fact that land use decisions are arrived at democratically is way more important then if someone thinks they are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ which are relative terms depending on someone’s prospective.
That is not a good thing at all.

The rightful guardians of the Earth are those who want to take care of the planet. It is not the primary reserve of specific people. The rightful guardians of the Earth is everyone on the planet regardless of whether they realize it or not.
This planet belongs to The Cosmos. Everyone is here to learn and grow.
And Earth will grow, change and adapt as humans grow, change and adapt.

The Inuit are on the Dorset land, why didn’t you advocate for the Inuit to give back the land to the Dorset. The Inuit erased the Dorset. The Inuit took the Dorset land. Sadly, no Dorset survived, so who is the Inuit going to give the land back to?
Indigenous people have been fighting over the land long before Europeans arrived, which people, then, can claim to be the rightful owners?
If we’re going to talk about colonization and land back then we must talk about all instances of colonization to include the colonization of indigenous people by other indigenous peoples, such as what the Inuit did to the Dorset. Anything less is intellectually dishonest.

How many years do we go back? In Israel, they fight each other because their land was stolen in 200 B.C.E. In 1540 Hernando de Soto met the Siouan in western North Carolina; fifty years later the Cherokee came in and took the Siouan’s land. My people lost their land to the Vikings that invaded Scotland. Tell me, how far do we go back in time to fix things?
