Semi-serious question for #AskAConservator #AskAConservatorDay: what do you think of "Cellair" as a cool name for people needing name inspo for writing characters or baby names?

#RutherfordFalls Season 2 Episode 2. Terry “You take advantage of centuries of violent displacement. You hide in the cracks of our trauma, feasting on opportunities.” @MichaelGreyeyes slayed it and hats off to the writers on taking on a complicated subject.

"Uncle William’s father, Uncle Jim Bates, became excited & started telling stories of his Country & land. Uncle William said, "Dad, it’s not your land anymore, whitefellas own it," & Uncle Jim replied 'No, they only borrowed it; it always was, and always will be Aboriginal land'"

I want to address white people who built successful careers off of "studying" Black, Latinx, and/or Indigenous communities: have you offered space/training opportunities/mentoring/tangible resources to members of the community whose suffering you benefit from? If not, why not?
I need to get this book!!

Last morning in Boorloo/Perth. I wanted to see the new statue of Aunty Fanny Balbuk: amazing Noongar woman who continued to follow her Ancestral paths on Country (now CBD) no matter what, she would bash down fences with her wanna (digging stick) & walk thru colonial buildings 1/4

sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2022… The statue was recently erected in the grounds of WA Govt House. This morning when I went there, I was surprised to see it behind locked gates & not really in front of Govt House, off to the side 2/4

This #AMAGA2022 panel on repatriation and restitution curiously hasn't really covered much about the topics of repatriation and restitution, IMO...
