Striking gap between the work Aboriginal women do documenting the life shattering reality of white supremacy and colonist violence and the wall of silence from settler historians in the colony. Same as outside academia, colonists thrive, yes, thrive, in this system that kills.

@DrBlackDeer I sit with them in that question. Ask them what world they want. discuss that. ask how we can get there together. ask if we can start to move that direction in the classroom <3 (and i teach exactly to make that space for their change!)

When I was a fellow at the state library vic with what some staff referred to as 'the Aboriginal project', a librarian in the archive reading room checked my bag for manuscripts before I left the room. This never happened before or after the fellowship.

Last night's #QandA highlighted again that there is no lack of truth telling, but a failure of colonisers to listen to the truth. Truth telling is hard work when colonists hardline refuse to listen. Over and over. Structural and endemic.

Am I missing something? Are all the white historians of 'Aboriginal Australia' in some pocket of the world fighting against the ongoing violence?i only see them at book launches and in TV docos. If murders are the colonial project and not their ARC project, they don't care?
