We are much more than what we do, own, drive and do.

"Invisible people" is how some view the Indigenous Nations around the world, and that suits those who don't want to deal with the reality of their own attitudes and where history has placed them.  The scariest manifestation of that is when its a goal to hide who we are in plain sight, the idea of just "blending in."

Kia Ora, Malo, Kiaorana! The old "I'm not a racist" conversation, there's always a "but" that in no way excuses what follows it.

Welcome to an indigenous experience, spoken from me not FOR us.
