Lots of Louise Michel content today, love to see it.
One piece of her legacy that doesn't get enough attention is her support for the struggle of the Indigenous Kanak people of New Caledonia against French colonialism.
She was exiled there after the commune along with other communards who were spared from execution, but she was one of the only ones to actually get on side with the Kanak uprisings that took place -- most of the other deportees chose whiteness and took the side of their jailers.
