You Are Not Native To The Planet
I have heard and read many times people expressing that they are native to the planet as if this gives them a special privilege to be anywhere they choose to be. Of course, such a statement betrays a colonial understanding of what native-ness truly is. I would offer that native isn’t something you grant to yourself, rather it is state of being that comes from choices you make. It is to be deeply intertwined with place, and without a specific place, native-ness isn’t possible.
