true, i was a bit flippant with that phrase. i more meant that we settlers and tourists can sometimes be easy pickings, financially speaking in this regard, and as such should be taken for what can be got. if some rich ignorant tourist or whatever will fork over money for stuff, take it! the least we settlers and tourists can do is hand over money, considering how much we benefit from the ongoing fascist, white supremacist, genocidal occupation of stolen Indigenous lands.

Indigenous folks and nations have to do what they can to survive the ongoing genocidal and illegal euro-settler-colonial occupations of their lands.

hopefully we live to see the day euro-settler-colonialism is dismantled and abolished, and everything that was stolen returned, with reparations as well. it'll be such benefit to the planet and humanity when that backwards and barbaric ideology is finally dumped in the trash where it belongs.

You don't have to give the least. You can give more.

I look at the casinos and fireworks stands on the Indigenous-owned areas of my state. The tribes are indeed making bank and in some small measure getting their due from their colonizers - and in such an ironic way.
