This article examines the role of oil palm plantations in West Papua, arguing that they function as a form of white settler colonialism. Ribas Vieira analyzes how the Indonesian government and corporations use oil palm development to dispossess Indigenous Papuans of their land and resources, while simultaneously promoting a narrative of development and progress. The article draws on ethnographic research to demonstrate how oil palm expansion exacerbates existing inequalities and reinforces racial hierarchies, ultimately serving to further marginalize Indigenous Papuans within their own territory
