Anti-Indigenous Use: "Anti-Indigenous rhetoric"

Describes sentiments or opinions that are founded in prejudice towards Indigenous people and cultures, and expressed with malicious intent or through lack of knowledge and information.

Pervasive anti-Indigenous sentiments includes the misuse of Indigenous cultures by non-Indigenous people, for example by wearing Indigenous customary clothing as a dress up or by adopting perceived Indigenous religious customs inappropriately.

Anti-Indigenous rhetoric includes expressing statements that attempt to portray Indigenous cultures as violent or dysfunctional prior to European colonisation.

Anti-Indigenous language may include misuse of the word 'tribe', similar to the common misuse of the term 'gypsy', to describe a Western experience but with connotations of another culture's perceived practices.
