everything we claim as a discovery
is someone’s dear, once beloved
- I Didn’t Come Here to Make F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Two hundred and fifty years later,
These jokers are still helping themselves.
Tentatively, I walk in their shoes.
Boldly, they speak with my words.
- Hospitality x COLONIZATION Collab

In Hinting at Decolonization, Andrews brings modern indigeneity full focus, holding the reader in the lived experience of colonial cause and effect. From West Auckland to San Francisco, Andrews tracks erasure, co-option, and theft as they appear in western popular culture, the performance of contrition, and the products on our shelves. At times cheeky and playful, Andrews' message is simple: it’s time to pull up this anchor. Land and Language Back.
