Listen to Episode 13: A Domination Chronicles Lexicon on Domination Chronicles.
Steve discusses key terms used to justify the loss of Indigenous freedom and the rise of the United States as an empire.
This lexicon episode is especially useful for ILI readers because it names the vocabulary that carries empire. Terms such as sovereignty, dominion, property, ascendancy, and civilization are treated as clues to the architecture of domination.
This short resource post is part of an Indigenous Law Institute guide to the Domination Chronicles archive. The goal is to help readers move from ILI’s work on empire, Christian discovery, federal Indian law, and the right of domination into the podcast conversations where those themes are examined episode by episode.
