History of Settler Colonialism
The history of settler colonialism can be traced back to the 15th century, when European powers began to explore and colonize the Americas, Africa, and Asia. In these regions, European settlers forcibly removed indigenous peoples from their lands and established their own societies.
Types of Settler Colonialism
There are two main types of settler colonialism:
- Eliminationist settler colonialism seeks to exterminate or displace indigenous peoples from their lands. This type of settler colonialism was practiced by the United States government in its dealings with Native American tribes.
- Assimilationist settler colonialism seeks to assimilate indigenous peoples into the dominant settler society. This type of settler colonialism was practiced by the Canadian government in its dealings with First Nations peoples.
