Dark Emu controversy took heavy toll on author Bruce Pascoe by [[Myles Wearring]]

Bruce Pascoe has a valuable take on the Austrialian version of what comes close to some of America/Canada's issues with the idea of "pretendian", though in his case it's slight amounts of Indigenous heritage. (see the video interview on ABC).

Indigenous cultures can "see" dark constellations (example: the Australian emu in the sky) which are defined empty spaces which are explicitly visible.

Using this concept, one could think of or use blank index cards in a zettelkasten or even the empty (negative) spaces between cards as "dark ideas" (potential ideas which need to be thought of and filled in).
