Control over a cultural practice
samedi 9 avril 2016 à 02:00Indigenous people do not have a right to demand "return" of everything that they gave or sold to Europeans, nor a right to control all the ideas of their culture.
No one has a right to a monopoly over a cultural practice. An Australian indigene has no more right to enforce ownership over a style of artifacts, or all its examples, than an American has the right to enforce ownership over jazz, rock or rap. And people have the right to make fusions of these with other styles, too.
If you don't like those fusions, don't watch or listen to them.
