Is Druidry Indigenous? The Politics of Pagan Indigeneity Discourse
Suzanne Owen
Issued Date: 23 Oct 2019
Abstract
This article asks if “indigenous,” associated as it is with “colonized peoples,” is being employed strategically by Druids in Britain to support cultural or political aims. Prominent Druids make various claims to indigeneity, presenting Druidry as the pre-Christian religion of the British Isles and emphasizing that it originated there. By “religion” it also assumes Druidry was a culture equal to if not superior to Christianity—similar to views of antiquarians in earlier centuries who idealized a pre-Christian British culture as equal to that of ancient Greece. Although British Druids refute the nationalist tag, and make efforts to root out those tendencies, it can be argued that it is a love of the land rather than the country per se that drives indigeneity discourses in British Druidry.

@IntuitivePublicEarth & @NotesOnRefuge are coordinating content about the impact of climate crisis on individual health and community safety for daily broadcasts.
Many individual impacts of climate crisis are not obvious.
More than only our most mainstream talking points -- climate crisis is about individual people and struggling families who can't find help when they need it.
In coordinating immediate assistance for these brave friends, we prevent human trafficking, desperate suicidality, & severe terminal disability in our communities.
Personal stories are important to show how easily suffering can be alleviated if we listen and take action.
Contact @maxmorris to record supporting radio segments immediately.
When we prioritize kindness & community safety, we are stronger than trauma.
