In our definition of Settler-Colonialism, we use the words “replacement of indigenous populations and erasure of their identity”. These words give insight into how settlers would push the indigenous people out of their homes. Obviously, this was hurtful to the indigenous people. So, because of the hurt that the settlers caused long ago, we need to continue our practice of acknowledging  them and their land. In order to create a safer and more inclusive, world, we think that it is necessary to recognize and admit to Settler-Colonialism. ]]> 2020-09-29 19:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789374897 https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789376288 In a way, land is life because land is necessary for life. Land means different things for different groups of people- whether it's accumulation of wealth or preservation of culture/history. Thus contests for land can be contests for life and happiness, as well as a contest for an established society. In this framework, land and people are interconnected so the domination of another's land is like the genocide of its people. ]]> 2020-09-29 19:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789376288 https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789376599 Settler colonialism is still prevalent in today's society when we think and reflect on the history of where we live and work (for example: the land that OES was built on). Additionally, although the Native Americans have already been pushed into tiny reservations across the U.S., corporations like oil companies or housing developments will still try to take that little bit of land away and use it for commercial purposes. Basically, although it looks different than it did 200 years ago, Settler- Colonialism is still occurring in the nation today. ]]> 2020-09-29 19:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789376599 mittalhenklev1 https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789377424 Settler-Colonialism is the exploitation and displacement of indigenous peoples by non native peoples with the aim of complete, permanent control.

White Americans feel like they're living on land that has been rightfully theirs from the beginning, while the remaining indigenous people living on reservations still feel like they are getting the short end of the stick and having their lives dictated by people who are ethnically similar to those who originally invaded their homeland. ]]> 2020-09-29 19:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789391751 mittalhenklev1 https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789409045 The perspective of Settler-Colonialism continues to shape the world today in the form of discrimination against immigrants, especially with respect to jobs, and how many corporations operate over minorities.

For instance, in the United States, many indigenous lands that were claimed by settler's are still exploited for resources. It is, in essence, hegemonic; perpetuating the repression against indigenous peoples and their cultures. Today, the perspective of settler-colonialism has less of an impact than it has had in the past, but its effects on specific cultures is still clearly evident and continues to shape the way that these demographics are treated. ]]> 2020-09-29 19:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789425273 karlt12 https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789427042 Similar to colonialism, settler-colonialism usually involves an attempt at total control of a region of land. This involves techniques such as shaping the landscape to make it more familiar, and forcing natives to assimilate their culture or be pushed out. Settler-colonialism usually doesn't allow for the relatively nuanced approach of assimilation, instead opting for the approach of displacement or extermination.]]> 2020-09-29 19:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789427042 karlt12 https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789430747 Colonialism is a system meant to effectively gain control over a piece of land.

For example, the land that our schools, homes, shops, and workplaces are built on is stolen land that will never be ours no matter how much we build over it. Reservations for Native Americans still exist and have little to no resources to support the people who live on them in spite of the government limiting their spaces. Native people still face incredible amounts of discrimination and their lives are not treated as valued with many going missing or being victims of violence every year. There is also no representation for Native Americans in the US government in spite of them being the only true Americans. Environmental issues such as fires and climate change also dis-proportionally affect them because of how close they are to nature.]]> 2020-09-29 20:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789583225 https://padlet.com/miller197/dnpfghshzfbwd4za/wish/789586037 Settler-colonists see the colonized culture as inferior to their own society and hierarchy.
