Document Summary
Present absence- the space indigenous peoples have come to occupy in broader us consciousness. Intentional erasure by us colonialism and relegated to the past. Indigenous peoples" stories in higher education, despite appropriating the culture through college mascots, etc. Defining indigenous peoples: occupy a liminal space, with identities that are both political and racialized. To be of a particular place denotes a historical, cultural and spiritual connection. Original inhabitants of the us, 573 distinct federally recognized tribal nations. Engage in a nation-to-nation relationship with the us federal government through treaty making. Tribal sovereignty- right to self-governance (own distinct systems for determining citizenship, laws, taxation, etc). Citizens of tribal nations enjoy dual citizenship- citizens of tribal nations and citizens of the us. Settler colonialism: seeks to rid the land of collective native presence and permanence to make way for and legitimize settler societies. Historically rooted land centered projects that are never complete.
