@freemo But this again might be just a timeline thing and considering evolution progresses we might need to accept diversity (just it's more better and fun for us with some moderation and control) and so we could welcome it / figure to live with both (which is maybe what you're saying also).
The perspective of native / non-native seems a bit of a human perspective and binary / slightly discriminatory as it's all evolving and maybe surely we can't keep it all native unless everything is staying more static 'over there' and 'not here'...
Don't want to take to extreme but I hope it's not unfair comparison to imagine people in same way and if 'in theory' we or those elements could be educated / moderated then less fascism 'could' exist but then again it does seem 'them or us' in this example... Maybe should stick to #native / non-native but it rings strongly of #indigenous and non-indigenous with world is changing, which is no doubt going to happen either way it seems...
We're looking for #indigenous sensitivity readers and overall feedback on how our game envisions the success of the #Landback movement.
I've posted the key section to our Lemmy community, where you can read it in full and comment. Any and all constructive feedback is greatly appreciated.

Norway’s Treatment of Sámi Indigenous People Makes a Mockery of Its Progressive Image
By Martine Aamodt Hess
March 13, 2023
"On March 1, global media outlets reported that #GretaThunberg had been arrested in #Oslo while protesting #WindTurbines. It wasn’t that the #ClimateActivist had suddenly taken a stand against renewable energy. Rather, she had joined forces with #activists standing up for #IndigenousPeople ’s plea to be able to continue practicing their culture in #Fosen, central #Norway. For hundreds of years, this land has been home to #ReindeerHerders — an important tradition, which helps preserve the Sámi’s endangered language. Yet today, the siting in Fosen of wind turbines, which frighten the reindeer, puts its continuation in doubt.
"Some five hundred days ago, #Norway’s supreme court ruled that the turbines are a violation of #IndigenousRights under international conventions. Yet they are still running even now — and indeed, even after the ebbing of the short-lived news attention surrounding Thunberg’s role in the protest. Once again, the Norwegian government has proven that it remains indifferent to Sámi lives.
"'What’s happening in Norway doesn’t surprise me — [there’s] this double standard of working to protect #indigenous groups around the world and presenting itself as this #progressive nation, yet not giving a shit about the indigenous people living within its own borders,' Elle Rávdná Näkkäläjärvi tells me. Between reindeer herding and her studies, the twenty-two-year-old is the leader of the Sámi Parliament’s youth committee and is a board member of the Norwegian Sámi Association youth group. During the recent eight days of protest in Oslo, she stood arm in arm with her Sámi sisters and brothers. “We are used to it but that doesn’t make it any less unjust. It’s about time Norway drops the mask. It’s about time the rest of the world sees Norway for what it really is,' she says.
"From the outside looking in, the Scandinavian country is often seen as a progressive social democracy. But — as Elle’s comments suggest — a story far less told is that of its #colonial past, also striking at indigenous people in Norway itself."
There is a world police summit going on in Dubai this week selling massive Israeli IDF surveillance to North American police forces to ensure their slow march of fascism is successful.
History: Picture: "George Gillette, chairman of the Fort Berthold Indian Tribal Council, weeps as he watches Secretary of the Interior A.J. King sign the Pick Sloan Flood Control Act. May 20, 1948. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_Control_Act_of_1944 Summary: the Flood Control Act did successfully control flooding of the Missouri River, but at the cost of flooding lands which had previously belonged to Native Americans. They lost 202,000 acres and were forced to relocate. #indigenous
