Excellent discussion. When considering Anthropology as a career 50 years ago I found the colonial point of view so distasteful and, indeed insulting to the "subject", I had to choose another career path. I was happy to continue to observe and observe myself in a variety of places, peoples and ways of seeing and believing, to determine my own kind of "knowledge" of several cultures and peoples, noting them as modern people in a modern world of their own making. SO glad people like Prof. Sinha are bringing these issues into the academic world.
Great talk and appreciate the takedown of 'native' and 'indigenous' (with a lowercase i), but wonder why not question the term ethnography itself, which also reinscribes white supremacy through its reification of the ethnos as the boundaries of the writing. Wish I could have asked this question in the Q&A. Would suggest the term 'anthropography', which has been used by Neni Panourgia and others.
