ABSTRACT This roundtable presents the proceedings of the “Hokkaidō 150: Settler Colonialism and Indigeneity in Modern Japan and Beyond” workshop held at the University of British Columbia in March 2019. The sesquicentennial of Japanese settler colonization of the northern island of Hokkaidō or Ainu Mosir received only scant attention either in Japan or around the world. The goal of this roundtable is to reinsert settler colonialism into modern Japanese history while introducing the case of the Ainu into global conversations of Indigeneity. Katsuya Hirano draws attention to how the Meiji state manipulated ideas of ownership to enable exploitation of Ainu lands. ann-elise lewallen recenters Ainu women’s resistance to the sexual colonization of Hokkaidō. Mai Ishihara interrogates her own positionality and asks why many people with Ainu heritage remain silent. Sheryl Lightfoot reviews how the case of the Ainu in Hokkaidō complicates prevailing paradigms of settler colonial studies. Musicians Mayunkiki, Tomoe Yahata, and Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson discuss issues of Indigenous identity and their practice. Finally, Danika Medak-Saltzman concludes the roundtable by re-situating Ainu at the intersection of settler colonial and Native studies, challenging Japan scholars to more meaningfully engage and prioritize Indigenous studies.

北海道 150：现代日本及以后的定居者殖民主义和原住民

摘要 本圆桌会议介绍了 2019 年 3 月在不列颠哥伦比亚大学举行的“北海道 150：现代日本及以后的定居者殖民主义和土著”研讨会的会议记录。无论是在日本还是在世界各地都很少受到关注。本次圆桌会议的目标是将定居者殖民主义重新插入日本现代历史，同时将阿伊努人的案例引入全球土著对话。Katsuya Hirano 提请注意明治政府如何操纵所有权观念来开发阿伊努人的土地。Ann-elise lewallen 重新审视了阿伊努妇女对北海道性殖民化的抵抗。石原麻衣质问自己的立场，并质问为什么许多拥有阿伊努血统的人保持沉默。Sheryl Lightfoot 回顾了北海道阿伊努人的案例如何使定居者殖民研究的流行范式复杂化。音乐家 Mayunkiki、Tomoe Yahata 和 Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson 讨论了土著身份及其实践的问题。最后，Danika Medak-Saltzman 通过将阿伊努人重新置于定居者殖民研究和土著研究的交叉点来结束圆桌会议，挑战日本学者更有意义地参与和优先考虑土著研究。
