The politics of oppression operate on the physical, spiritual, & environmental spheres of influence. When the land is occupied, the coloniser immediately cuts the connection between people and land, eventually cutting the connection within communities, cutting the connection between man and the spiritual, and separating man from spirit from environment.

Guided by the powerful deity Sek, who brought order to the chaotic world, bringing light he allowed life to flourish, separating day from night, defining the boundaries between the sky, earth, and water, and setting the cycles of life in motion. He also taught the first Nasa people the art of weaving. This practice is not just as a method to create useful items but a reflection of the very act of creation itself.
