I often see these words used interchangeably, though as I understand it there is a difference between the two ideologies, no?

The clan or tribe who cares for the land where the lithium is mined will meet for a yarning circle. At the yarning circle, they’ll talk about the foreigners’ need for lithium and whether the foreigners make for good neighbours. The foreigners’ gifts to the clan will be judged. The totem holders of the impacted species will speak on sustainability issues. Everyone will listen to the Elders.
They’ll reach a consensus on whether the foreigners are good neighbours, whether they need the lithium, and how much damage the mine will do to the land. The clan will make a decision together. Then the mine will be approved or denied.
What if several tribes claim the land with the lithium, as tends to happen with valuable resources?

Something that looks like a person but isn’t. I don’t identify as a person because of My kintype.
Is this a furry thing?
Close enough
Don’t see this word applied much in communist literature. Are we not all the proletariat united?
On what basis? Are they elected or just old?
And what prevents the group who you decide not to supply lithium to from invading you and taking it?
