sandil — 2016-06-04T20:09:00Z

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, History News Network: The form of colonialism that the Indigenous peoples of North America have experienced has been modern from the beginning: the expansion of European corporations, backed by government armies, into foreign areas, with subsequent expropriation of lands and resources. Settler colonialism requires a genocidal policy.
