did anyone know isla nublar was actually the ancestral home of the Tun-Si people (which, from what I gather, are a fictional splinter group of the very real Bribri people) and that ingen forced them out with either false promises of safe relocation or just straight up sending mercenaries to their homes to eject them at gunpoint-- resulting in more than one death in the indigenous population. colin trevorrow, iirc, said that the telltale jurassic park game is soft canon last I checked (so it probably happened, but not necessarily in the way it was shown in the game itself, I think?) and I'm pretty sure that masrani global's website explicitly acknowledges the presence of the Tun-Si on the island-- before it was leased to ingen for the creation of jurassic park.

okay, so basically from what I've read today, it's canon that literally the entire foundation of jurassic park and, later, jurassic world was built on the stolen land of an indigenous people which were also harassed, tricked, and brutalized by employees of ingen... and all I can see of official in-universe documentation associated with either park that even acknowledges this fact is a brief land acknowledgment statement on the masrani global website. I have to rewatch jurassic world, to be fair, but I do recall that the events of the original 1993 jurassic park film are referenced throughout, often with an air of tragedy. but... I see nothing anywhere in the actual movies that even begins to discuss who lived there for generations before jurassic park was even built?? like, did they forget to mention this or do they just not care...?
