ABSTRACT In this essay, I explore how Native American rhetoric of resistance exposes the settler colonial logics that constitute a hegemonic force in the greater social imaginary. Focusing on two sites—the Minneapolis Walker Arts Center’s Scaffold exhibit and The Landing, a historic settlers’ village located twenty miles from the Walker—I assess both how settler colonialism is enacted in these spaces and how Native American activism represents a talking back to settler colonialism. I argue that examining places as networked arguments reveals the ways in which they can speak to each other and unsettle dominant ideologies. To better understand the settler colonial logics that Native American resistance rhetoric seeks to unsettle, I advocate for critical examination of how scholars and activists are constituted by those very centering logics.

雕塑园中的种族灭绝与定居者殖民主义的对话

摘要 在这篇文章中，我探讨了美洲原住民的抵抗修辞如何暴露定居者的殖民逻辑，这些逻辑构成了更大社会想象中的霸权力量。重点关注两个地点——明尼阿波利斯沃克艺术中心的脚手架展览和着陆，一个距离沃克 20 英里的历史悠久的定居者村庄——我评估了定居者殖民主义是如何在这些空间中形成的，以及美洲原住民激进主义如何代表对定居者的回击殖民主义。我认为，将场所作为网络论点来考察可以揭示它们相互交流和扰乱主流意识形态的方式。为了更好地理解美洲原住民抵抗言论试图扰乱的定居者殖民逻辑，我主张对学者和活动家是如何由这些非常中心化的逻辑构成的进行批判性审查。
