Peter d'Errico and Steven Newcomb critique an Economist article about the Indian Removal Act and the language used for invasion and settlement.
The words used to describe people entering another people's homeland matter. In this episode, Peter and I critique the language around the Indian Removal Act and the habits that make invasion sound ordinary.
I am sharing this episode here because it belongs with my wider work on the language of domination, Christian discovery, federal Indian law, and the continuing reality of Original Nations' free existence. Each conversation in Domination Chronicles is another way into that inquiry.
