PRIVILEGE

Eighty-three year old NiNi lives in Privilege. Privilege is in a Territory of Pleasure and she was allowed to stay, because, unlike others, NiNi never left. If one left their home during the ReOrg, even for a day, you became relocated to a community where Our Nations gathered all people. A relocation, officially said to protect the lands and its resources, yet, NiNi has said, “More like lured as herded cattle to the concrete jungle to be provided for, and it was not for protection of lands, it was for the removing of people from them”. Amongst the many relocated during the transition were transients, those forced from their homes for debt and inability to pay rent, as well as lack of ownership. There were many living on and from the lands that are now called Privilege.
