The VC sent around an email that included this sentence:
"We are very fortunate here at J-- as we have so many cultures
represented including our visiting international students and staff, many of
whom are Indigenous to their country"
And it made me sad. Somehow, other people get to be "indigenous", even if they are in a different country. Me? I'm not "indigenous" to anything (not the country where I was born, and not the countries where my parents or grandparents were born either).
Not usually an issue, but today it makes me feel homeless.
