The goal of the research is to try to understand the lived practices and discourses of people defending and countering indigenous land rights--as a grounded point of departure to examine the limits and possibilities of decolonization. It uses an interdisciplinary approach including: ethnographic interviews with participants in land claims in Ontario and New York state; historical analyses (not only of the Enlightenment philosophies on which "settler certainties" depend, but also of the legal systems that derive from these philosophies); and theoretical analysis drawn especially from settler colonial studies, on the foundational ideologies--and illusions--on which settler states are built and by which Indigenous peoples and ways of being are discredited. The goal of the book is to invite readers into a rethinking of the legal and philosophical assumptions that feed conflicts between settlers and Indigenous peoples over the rights of (living on) the land. It hoped to generate understandings of where the widespread assumption of settler certainty comes from, why it is ultimately a doomed fantasy, and why a self-reflexive engagement with uncertainty is necessary to any process of decolonization."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Land tenure. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Claims. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Decolonization $z Canada. 650 0 $a Decolonization $z United States. 776 1 $a Mackey, Eva, 1956-, author. $t Unsettled expectations. $w (CaOONL)2016903190X 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302014936.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211032603.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D3F41F4B85D11E6BDBAC4DDDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
