Remember that permaculture is co-opted Indigenous knowledge. The founder of this field, Bill Mollison went to Tasmania, Australia to “research” and “learn” from the Indigenous peoples of a small village. He later coined their way of life though this western term.

I completed a “permaculture” certification through an Indigenous womxn program and my instructor got upset at me when I mentioned this. But it is the truth. She told me he “decolonized” this field https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😲" title="Erstauntes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Erstauntes Gesicht"> Co-optation & stealing Indigenous knowledge isn’t Decolonizing.

Incidents like this are the reason why Indigenous communities don’t trust academics or researchers. It’s funny to me how many researchers & academics turn around to complain about not being trusted...but like I personally don’t trust them neither. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤭" title="Gesicht mit Hand über dem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Hand über dem Mund">

Also you can find what I tweeted on any permaculture book that mentions how Bill Mollison “created” this field. It isn’t hidden, just not called out or pointed out as much. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤭" title="Gesicht mit Hand über dem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Hand über dem Mund">

Also don’t ask me for literature or other resources. Please use google instead. Thank you all for not requesting free labor from an Indigenous womxn https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙃" title="Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Auf den Kopf gestelltes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😲" title="Erstauntes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Erstauntes Gesicht">
