Document Summary
New zealand: settler colony, larger indigenous involvement in government. Give thanks to people whose land they are on. Land masses where one population comes in and takes land of another population and then stays. Unlike india colonizers left (post colony: primarily caucasian, britain, spain, france. Debunking colonialism narratives: adam ruins everything. Brief history of colonialism @ north america: late 1400s: approx 50,000,000 @ europe at the same time: population centers: sw, se, ne, nw cost, rim of plains, indigenous population plummeted @ colonialism: biological warfare. Brought germs/bacteria/viruses that indigenous didn"t have, therefore no immunity. Passive and active: us and canada statehood chipped away at population further. Nation states began arriving: us and ca states entered into agreements with indigenous peoples via treaties sometimes they even honored those treaties. A government would make a treaty with one small community from a group and a different treaty with the entire group, but they wouldn"t match up.
