ABSTRACT This essay seeks to explore why inclusion of Indian people is fundamental in the difficult histories and dialogues regarding mass incarceration and to challenge the role of museums in ensuring that Indian people are centrally located in the discussion. I argue that the inherent roots of mass incarceration are historically situated in Indian dispossession and the obtainment of Indian land, and to omit this from any narrative is irresponsible. I employ the use of three stories – a piece of street-art by Native artist Jaque Fragua, the occupation of Alcatraz Island, and the current resistance in the Standing Rock Sioux Nation to the Dakota Access Pipeline – to discuss the inherent ties between sovereignty, land, settler colonialism and how they connect to mass incarceration in the United States.

这是印第安人的土地:呼吁博物馆解决大规模监禁美洲印第安人的问题

摘要 本文旨在探讨为何在关于大规模监禁的艰难历史和对话中,印度人的参与至关重要,并挑战博物馆在确保印度人在讨论中处于中心地位方面的作用。我认为大规模监禁的内在根源在历史上位于印第安人的剥夺和获得印第安人的土地上,从任何叙述中省略这一点是不负责任的。我使用三个故事——土著艺术家 Jaque Fragua 的街头艺术作品、恶魔岛的占领以及立岩苏族国家目前对达科他州输油管道的抵抗——来讨论主权之间的内在联系,土地、定居者殖民主义以及它们如何与美国的大规模监禁联系起来。
