By juxtaposing the Indigenous American with the sound of my voice speaking German in a bad American accent, the aim is to talk about power on a whole level and not specifically about Germany. I find it interesting that in the German language and also in Dutch, the words “have done” (gemacht) and Power (Macht) have no direct relationship. However if one thinks about a philosophers view on power, quite often it is view as an action. Power is something done to people.
