Most of the BIPOC people I know (I being a Vegan of almost 40 years now) consider Veganism to be a ab extension of colonialism and privilege.
I'm not sure where I stand with that sentiment though. On one side I think we've done enough shit to Indigenous folk that any form of asking/telling them to do something is going to be met with derision.
On the flip side I also know Vegan Indigenous folks.
Well, indigenous people arent a monolith, youll never get 100%. Remember the old saying, dont let perfection be the enemy of good.
Just keep on trying, and dont be pretentious. Some is better than none.
