Decolonization is not the same as Occupation

Referring to members of indigenous communities as occupants, in order to discredit them when they choose to build blockades that stop e.g. mining companies from colonising their ancestral lands is not only factually wrong, but it feeds into a long history of dismissing and silencing the legitimate complaints of indigenous peoples in order to justify the ongoing theft of their lands.
