IMO people who called network states "colonialist" are wrong and misguided.We've seen a lot of large-scale colonialist evil the past few years. Almost none has come from network state exit libertarians, while a lot has come from people who decided libertarianism is outdated now"If you disagree with how things are run, go start a new thing" really is a very "robust-to-error" position to take. The potential negative consequences of what you do are localized, and are inherently bounded. Even though with the in ...

If Indians see colonialism everywhere, that’s because they live in a country ruled by some of its principles. But a colonial mindset is distinct from a colonial hangover https://t.co/6QHOoGAOvh ...

Problematic Artifacts & Provenance - The Manitoba Museum holds nearly 3 million artifacts and specimens, many from First Nations, Inuit, and Matey communities, but some lack documented histories or provenance [6] - A Japanese samurai armor in the museum's collection lacks any documentation as to how it entered the collection, including donor name, craftspeople, cultural significance, or travel history [3][4] - Museums have historically been entangled in exploitation, colonialism, and racism, acting as repositories of conquest and violence, displaying stolen artifacts to uphold certain world views [8][9] Repatriation & Rematriation - Museums have a responsibility to return ceremonial, sacred, and other items to the First Nations, Inuit, and Matey communities from which they originated, globally [12] - Museums must incur the costs of finding descendant communities through donor records, archives, historic maps, and oral histories [13] - Museums should play a role in rematriation, standing beside First Nations, Inuit, and Matey communities as they reclaim their sacred relationships with lands and waters [14] Shared Authority & Collaboration - Museums should share authority with communities, working in partnership to amplify systemically excluded histories through co-creation, co-curation, co-authoring, and co-exhibiting [15] - "Nothing about us without us" should be at the forefront of all museum work, with communities telling their own stories [15] - Museums should collect with consent and work with communities to document their histories, so those histories can become teachers [17] Future of Museums - The transformation of museums is possible, creating spaces rooted in truth, grounded in repair, and welcoming to all [19] - Museums should uphold justice, make space for uncomfortable truths, and honor histories, celebrating indigenous ingenuity and contributions [16] - Visitors are seeking truth, looking for missing stories, and calling on museums to abandon neutrality and be allies in truth, reconciliation, and justice [17][18]
