“…In her groundbreaking work critiquing the 1492 colonial conquest, Wynter (1995) traces the emergence and evolving nature of racial and gender hierarchies, linking Blackness and Indigeneity through the categorization of "Man" as the European, White, colonizing, and market-driven subject who established the very notion of what it meant to be human in the modern world. Correspondingly, the construction and reproduction of hierarchical categorizations along racial as well as gender and sexual lines in relation to real and imagined geographies within settler contexts continues to enact violence in our daily lives (Allen, 1992;Bruyneel, 2021;Goeman, 2013;Goeman & Denetdale, 2009;Green, 2007;Mayer, 2007;McKay et al, 2020;Morgensen, 2011;Ramirez, 2008;Stewart-Harawira, 2007).…”

“…Seneca scholar Mishuana Goeman (2013) demonstrates such interventions through Native women's writings, which she argues are imaginative spatial interventions that remap social relations and power dynamics. Theses writings disrupt the epistemic strictures and grammatical structures that disavow the violence of genocide in how settlers narrate the formation of the United States that formulate contemporary conditions of belonging (King, 2019;Wilderson, 2010).…”

“…He highlights spatio‐aesthetic strategies that unsettle settler colonialism by recovering Indigenous constructions of space through actions such as public art installations by Native artists. Such spatial re‐organization is essential for counteracting the spatial dominance in settler societies, producing counterhegemonic narratives, and undoing settler spatial imaginaries (Goeman, 2013).…”

“…(2020) claim “the structure of settler colonialism helps explain the nature of racism and its ongoing effects” (p. 3). Settle colonial logics that normalize the despatialization of non‐White communities through removal, dispossession, and exclusions produce settler spaces (Goeman, 2013). These spaces and the processes of racialization rely on aesthetics.…”

Settler aesthetics—Theorizing and contesting settler colonialism through art practice

The growing scholarship on settler colonialism largely understudies aesthetics. Settler colonial logics work not only through the elimination, dispossession, and criminalization of Indigenous populations but also through the erasure of Indigenous narratives and aesthetics. Aesthetics communicate a particular system of knowledge and power that can either refute or perpetuate settler colonial projects. I use the term “settler aesthetics” to foreground an understanding of aesthetics as dynamic socio‐spatial practices through which state and non‐state actors assert power, construct particular visions of a city, and shape conditions of belonging. Settler aesthetics demonstrate how the logic of elimination and the work of settler memory reproduces and is reproduced through various visual modalities. I argue that as geographers, we must examine both contemporary settler colonial projects that continue codifying cities as purely settler spaces without Indigenous presence and resistance, and spaces that insist on Black, Latinx, and Indigenous presence and livingness. This paper therefore explores how scholarship on decolonizing and anti‐colonial art practice and theory can inform emerging scholarship on settler colonial urbanism that centers perspectives and practices of Black and Indigenous presence and resistance.

“…Historically, U.S. policy toward Native American education has been based on assimilation and removal (Carney, 1999). Settler colonial values such as individualism and competitiveness are not compatible with Native American values that emphasize community, extended kinship systems (Deloria & Wildcat, 2001), and a near universal worldview among Indigenous people that include a shared responsibility for all of Creation. That collectivity-the strong community and familial relationships Indigenous students often experience and hold dear-is not left behind when students enroll in higher education (Huffman, 2008;Waterman, 2012).…”

This article demonstrates how the Haudenosaunee concept of goodness is central to the foundational ontology of five Haudenosaunee higher education personnel who were identified by former students as instrumental to their postsecondary student success. Findings regarding participants' roles in student support and incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems are based on qualitative data. Themes from the participant interviews were the varied pathways to the profession, importance of motivation and encouragement, contributing more than the job description, and incorporation of traditional value systems. Goodness based on the "Good Mind" stood out as fundamental to this process.

An indigenous geographic position on producing data in colonial conditions

In a historically colonial field, what are the possibilities of a geography informed by Indigenous and Anti‐Colonial ethics and onto‐epistemologies? This article suggests engaging in a critical study of data from an Indigenous geographic standpoint, with a focus on imperialism and colonialism in settler nation‐states. I begin by emphasizing the pervasive and long‐standing imposition of geographical data collection in Indigenous life, naming the binds of engaging with the production of data for and with colonial institutions. I then review prominent spatial analytics within critical Indigenous studies, Indigenous geography, and aligned Anti‐Colonial geography, including Indigenous place‐based knowledge and onto‐epistemologies, (racialized) colonial dispossession, sovereignty and recognition, environmental colonialism, and mapping and cartography. Last, I suggest that studies of colonial data dynamics and Indigenous data production strengthen Indigenous and Anti‐Colonial geographies by emphasizing the co‐constitution of good relations and good data. Future research avenues include the need to push beyond the geo‐historical bounds of the category settler colonial, and to build co‐rejections of racial empire with other fields of study including Black, Queer, and Feminist geographies.
