Paper Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of indigenous cultures, languages, and identities. It is a term used to describe the policies implemented through schools, the taking of indigenous lands, destroying records, the elimination of identities, and other methods of assimilation. The result has had a devastating impact on Indigenous people worldwide for generations. This also relates to the intentional burning and covering up of information about the origins of many colonized places as it relates to culture, identity, land rights, and much more. Scienz Of Life uses the term abstractly to get people who are not familiar with it to LOOK IT UP! And also to articulate why they feel it is so hard for so many of us to trace back our true roots and quickly know who we are and EXACTLY where we are from. Let’s normalize finding our tribes, it’s IMPORTANT!
