Part 1 is the Framework
The Role of the Ballot is to dismantle coloniality for indigenous people
The affs frameing of coloniality is inherently problematic.  You work within the system which just ensnares and re-enrenches the language of coloniality.  The only method to respond to institutional violence is through an ontological criticism of the grammar that informs it.  Andreotti ’08 bracketed

The violence that modernity creates is only understood through coloniality. Coloniality represents a total relation of power that over determines other forms of violence.

Counterplan text – Countries ought to develop long-term geological nuclear waste repositories and enter into a consent-based decision-making process with indigenous communities for siting nuclear waste management facilities.

Competes functionally and textually – aff bans it, we just change how it’s stored

Solves the aff – removes waste from indigenous lands by isolating it from humans and ensures they are included in the decision-making process. Net benefit is that we include them in the decisionmaking process rather than just deciding for them.

Counterplan text – the aff actor will use funds for nuclear power to expand renewable energy, develop renewables to replace nuclear in the grid, and phase out nuclear power. The time frame is five years – all current reactors will close by then.
