Sorry, this was only recently brought to my attention. But the answer is no, and not because of the content of the discussion but because an overwhelming number of non-Aboriginal voices are weighing in on the subject and that's problematic because we have so few Aboriginal voices here on babble which almost guarantees that a white settler colonialist POV dominates. Additionally, the conversation has moved away from being strictly about Aboriginal rights and culture to alternative medicine, the rights of parents and their children to make their own choices about medical treatment.Meg, do you feel the discussion here is in line with the aboriginal forum's mandate?
Would you like me to move the thread to a different forum or are you comfortable with it remaining here? I need to close this thread anyway and start a new one, but I can state in the OP of the new one that the demographic of babble will be predominantly settler colonialist and that all participating need to be conscious of this and sensitive to the issues when they post.
