Through a study of their interred remains, we examine how wolves became entangled in the unfolding negotiations between settler […]

Abstract: Over the past several decades, settler colonial universities have begun to grapple with their relationships with Indigenous peoples. Different contexts and histories have given rise to diverse approaches to the project of transforming universities, variously framed as decolonising, indigenising, or reconciling the university.

Abstract: Since the mid-1990s, in clandestine co-operation with state agencies, West Bank settlers have been establishing what have become known as the illegal outpost settlements.

Abstract: The late nineteenth-century policy of allotting tribal lands into individually owned tracts is appropriately interpreted as a destructive federal effort to expropriate Native land and eliminate tribal identities. The Ottawa Tribe in Indian Territory, however, had divergent objectives in supporting allotment. This article argues the Ottawa advocated for allotment and U.S. citizenship to escape […]

Hawai’i is an occupied nation, and has been since 1893 when […]
