Excerpt: The appropriation of Indigenous land, absorption of identity, and efforts to make Indigenous people disappear are intertwined elements of settler-colonialism. This is why the political struggle over the Washington football team matters, and why King’s book is a must-read for anyone interested in this issue and how settler-colonialism functions in relationship to it.
