8. Decolonize Ourselves
from No Ties 1879 · host Prakash Media
This is the second episode in a few weeks where we need to talk about recovered remains of children dug up at Canadian Residential Schools. This is just a shallow dive into the real unwhitewashed history of this country. We encourage and recommend everyone take that deep dive and learn the things that were left out of your education and buried with an entire generation of students who forcibly attended residential schools. We, as descendants of Girmit, of the Indentured Service System, stand with our Indigenous brothers and sisters here on Turtle Island. We also get in some words about fetishization and a recent Instagram dispute on @noties1879podcast. Fetishization is a thing and there is a difference between appreciation and being made the object of sexual desire based off a physical trait or characteristic tied to your ethnicity. Learn the distinction.
