This promotional initiation video lures inductees with promises of decolonisation and settler remediation. Imagery of settler-led planetary destruction is juxtaposed with sequences of underground group therapy sessions where settlers can lose, forget, and explore their identities In order to indigenise. Sharing their labour, lurking through museums and institutions, future accomplices snap thousands of cellphone pictures of every artifact and artwork on hand. Deploying and containing confrontational representations around the stakes of accompliceship, the video examines the dynamics influencing the conditions in which the concerns of Indigenous people are often treated as a topic du jour and then co-opted by non-Indigenous people, alongside the search for ways to make amends.
