Violence That Dispossesses: Continuity on the Settler Colonial Timeline
This article considers what role and responsibility historians may have when faced with settler society’s tendency to be freshly shocked each time it learns (again) about a colonial horror from its past that was, in fact, already long well known by many. Following an introduction, my argument unfolds in five sections. First, I engage a mostly Indigenous scholarship to suggest replotting British Columbia’s timeline as a continuum, or continuous pr…

The Difficulties of Combating Inequality in Time
Scholars have argued that disadvantaged groups face an impossible choice in their efforts to win policies capable of diminishing inequality: whether to emphasize their sameness to or difference from the advantaged group. We analyze three cases from the 1980s and 1990s in which reformers sought to avoid that dilemma and assert groups’ sameness and difference in novel ways: in U.S. policy on biomedical research, in the European Union's initiatives …
Obvious but Invisible: Ways of Knowing Health, Environment, and Colonialism in a West Coast Indigenous Community
This paper interrogates the specific workings and stakes of slow violence onIndigenousground. It argues that despite similarities with other environmental justice struggles, Indigenous ones are fundamentally distinct because of Indigenous peoples' unique relationship to the polluted or damaged entity, to the state, and to capital. It draws from Indigenous studies, history, anthropology, geography, sensory studies, and STS, to present results from…
Colonial Genocide in Indigenous North America
How might genocide serve as an organizing principle for the history of indigenous and nonindigenous relations in North America? I asked this question as I read this important and timely collection. The essays span a broad chronological and geographical range, enough to recommend the book's possible use in undergraduate courses. What would be gained and what might be obscured by such a framing? These authors are concerned with this very question. …

Authentic Indians: Episodes of Encounter from the Late-Nineteenth-Century Northwest Coast
In this innovative history, Paige Raibmon examines the political ramifications of ideas about "real Indians." Focusing on the Northwest Coast in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth, she describes how government officials, missionaries, anthropologists, reformers, settlers, and tourists developed definitions of Indian authenticity based on such binaries as Indian versus White, traditional versus modern, and uncivilized versus civilized…

In 1893 a group of Kwakwaka’akw from northern Vancouver Island travelled to the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, where they performed and lived ‘on display’ in a simulated Northwest Coast setting. The participation of Aboriginal peoples in such colonial displays is usually seen as a tragic mark of cultural capitulation, an indication that the performers were reduced by colonialism to performing shadows of their former cultural glory and w…
