Newcomb and d’Errico examine stolen land, performative speech, legal precedent, and the right of domination.
ILI readers will recognize the importance of moving beyond symbolic language. Episode 15 asks whether the phrase “stolen land” exposes domination or becomes performative when it is not tied to legal history, precedent, and active claims of control.
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.
