The cumulative effects of settler colonialism: Indigenous Centre for Cumulative Effects, ‘Cumulative Effects 101’, 2026

20Feb26

Excerpt: Settler colonialism is a governing system where a foreign power moves in, seizes the land, and works to permanently replace Indigenous inhabitants, dismantling their existing political structures and ways of life. As the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s final summary report stated: “The Canadian government pursued this policy of cultural genocide because it wished to divest itself of its legal and financial obligations to Aboriginal people and gain control over their land and resources” (TRCC 2015: 3). This project of dispossession is ongoing in Canada and has created the foundation for cumulative effects experienced by Indigenous communities today.

  • Settler colonialism is a global and transnational phenomenon, and as much a thing of the past as a thing of the present. Settlers 'come to stay': they are founders of political orders who carry with them a distinct sovereign capacity.
