Val Plumwood argued for a reworking of our concept of in ways that would both recognize indigenous influence and expand the official fake history to include perspective from the Others'side. Borrowing from Plumwood's logic of colonization, I explore how the official history of in the United States of America is similar to Tasmania's fake history. I offer a philosophical analysis of Chief Justice John Marshall's opinion in the case of Johnson v. M'Intosh (1823) where the wilderness finds its first legal articulation. I argue that although multiple erasures of the Other as found in Marshall's concept of are serious problems, they do not support scepticism. Rather, in order to reshape the concept of in a new non-colonizing way, its antecedents must be clearly understood. Only then can we escape the precedents of control and find an ethical basis to repair the nature/culture split ending the war on the Other
