Evie Cooper is very quickly becoming a new blorbo. I love the character and how much range she has. It's not every day there's a queer first nations woman on a show that bears the NCIS title made in Australia. As a queer first nations person of Australia Tuuli Narkle is the first person I've come across who I can look at and feel a sort of connection with.

My great grandmother’s portrait is shown in a heroic portrait tradition found in Europe and America. This picture is about my history as valid by using those styles honoured by Non-First Nation art critics and historians.

One time I went to an Indigenous focused doctors office and the doctor told me he wouldn't treat me because I'm too smelly.
Too bad there's no group of Indigenous people that could advise the government on how to assist Indigenous people in getting our needs met or anything...

Until recent centuries, these areas were still occupied by hunter-gatherers – Native Americans in the first three cases and Aboriginal Australians or Native Siberians in the last two.

Baker Boy is sick! 🖤💛❤️🐨🦘
I also really love Xavier Rudd - his music is beautiful but also deeply spiritual. @pencildragons highly recommend him also. This song in particular is really great, but this whole album is spectacular.
bro i LOVE indigenous fusion music i love it when indigenous people take traditional practices and language and apply them in new cool ways i love the slow decay and decolonisation of the modern music industry

Seeing a lot of posts about the Palestinian flag, and it got me thinking about indigenous flags around the world.
Māori:
Kalaallit Nunaat:
Haudenosaunee
Nunatsiavut:
Australian Aboriginal:
Torres Strait Islands:
Rapa Nui:
Kurdistan:
Sami:
Ainu:
Of course, these are just a handful. May they all reclaim their stolen lands.

I know yall love quokkas but I feel like not enough people know that Rottnest Island / Wadjemup literally still has mass graves of Aboriginal men. The place is haunted af. 4000 Aboriginal men were imprisoned there and used for forced labour to build a prison. This went on for a century (1838-1931) and it’s still a painful history for a lot of Aboriginal people in Boorloo and across Western Australia. It’s literally on the Rottnest website. If you’re visiting for the cute quokkas just be respectful of the history.
