Abstract: This article examines the work of a Blackfoot-led, volunteer-based outreach organization that patrols the urban core of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, providing support and connection to vulnerable community members. While settler colonialism maintains exclusionary racialized geographies which locate cities as spaces of “Whiteness” and reserves as places of “Indianness,” SAGE Clan challenges these divisions by […]

Abstract: This article recovers the international thought of Jón Ólafsson—an Icelandic journalist, transatlantic migrant, and settler colonialist—to illuminate how visions of world order were articulated from the Northern European periphery at the fin de siècle. While scholars have emphasized the rise of AngloSaxonist ideas—particularly the notion of a racial-imperial union between the United States and […]

Abstract: Background: Outdoor education in North America remains complicit in perpetuating settler-colonialism. Purpose: This paper uses a relational literature review methodology to explore how settler outdoor educators come to understand and (un)learn about colonialism. Method: Using relational literature review and Root’s model of settler learning stages: priming, unconscious and conscious, we explore examples of each learning stage. Findings: Finally, we suggest that a […]

Excerpt: Aqua nullius, or how the settler-state “governments’ lack of inclusion of Indigenous water rights and interests resembles Australia’s western framing of Indigenous land rights—shaped by the doctrine of terra nullius—and reconstructs Indigenous water rights as aqua nullius or ‘water belonging to no one’”.

Abstract: Drawing on the successes of the Mi’kmaq-led struggle against the Alton Gas natural gas storage project from 2014-21, this paper proposes the Peace and Friendship Treaties as the Peace and Friendship on the Sipekne’katik relational framework best equipped to address the worsening climate crisis and build liveable futures in Mi’kma’ki. We argue that existing […]

Excerpt: “Fast Track Land Reform” was rhetorically aimed at “white farmers,” not at colonial-era investor-owned land which posed a much larger threat to Zimbabwe’s future than the remnant white farmers. Gains were made: A Union Carbide–owned ranch near Zvishavane was resettled, one of two major parcels owned by De Beers was partially resettled, and jambanja activists resettled […]

Abstract: In the interwar period, and even into the Second World War, white Southern and Northern Rhodesians tried and failed to ‘amalgamate’ their colonies.
