I think about that quote about indigenous people living in a post apocalyptic world everyday here, why are there no natives here, why does this town think its still in europe, why is there a land acknowledgment before the list of original settlers that make it seem like we're extinct, why am i the only indigenous person here and the only reason im here is because im working??? why am i the only indigenous person here and the only reason i am here is because i am working.

#like everyone says this is the best base and like yeah the beach is cool and all (if we arent busy) but im noticing a lack of indigenous ppl #thank fuck for the room having access to aptn for making me feel normal again #but like rn we're able to be in town since nothings happening atm and its scary how all the people living here are white people so strongly #proud of their families coming here from europe and have european flags up and all the names of the streets and the souvineirs and none of #the people here know we were here first.#like this town THINKS its still in europe and acts like it and ive only seen one other indigenous person but theyre just here for a day trip #but hearing that auntie laugh made me feel less scared fr #everyone hates on the other bases but tbh i think its just cause those towns are wayyy more native (thank fuck) and theyre haters #anyway still getting used to being the only indigenous person here esp cause they all hate indigenous people 👍#tjis is a VERRYYYYY touristy town too and since working as an indigenous tour guide tourists fuckinh annoy me
