One of the most striking things I've learnt working on cultural violence, sealing & TK: Just 48 people actively stand b/t the extinction of generations of continuous sealing/fishing traditional knowledge on cultural & economic seal processing practices in Newfoundland & Labrador @govnl.bsky.social

Abolition wasn’t fueled by just moral or economic concerns – the booming whaling industry also helped sink slavery
New research shows that when the whaling industry in the US produced more products, the proportion of slaves also declined in the 1700s and 1800s.
