After decades of refusal, neglect, and tacit admittance, the service of Indigenous people in the national armed forces of settler colonial states such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States is finally gaining acknowledgment. Indigenous people are now integrated in the regular forces and represented in national war commemoration. This article maintains that while inclusion and recognition of Indigenous military service is a positive transformation in the direction of post-colonial reconciliation, it still operates within the logics of settler colonialism intended to eradicate Indigenous stories of connection to land and assimilate Indigenous people in settler society. Using the case study of Indigenous militarization in Australia, this article argues that, under conditions of settler colonialism, the inclusion and recognition of Indigenous people in national militaries advances the settler colonial project intended to dispossess Indigenous people from their land and assimilate them in the new settler society. It highlights that historically, military organization has supported settler colonialism, and positions the present inclusion and recognition of Indigenous people in the military as a continuation of this history.

定居者军事政治：论土著人民在军队中的包容和承认

经过数十年的拒绝、忽视和默许，原住民在澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰和美国等移民殖民国家的国家武装部队中的服役终于得到认可。土著人民现在已融入正规部队，并在全国战争纪念活动中有所代表。本文认为，虽然土著兵役的纳入和承认是在后殖民和解方向上的积极转变，但它仍然在定居者殖民主义的逻辑范围内运作，旨在消除土著人与土地有关的故事，并在定居者社会中同化土著人民. 本文利用澳大利亚土著军事化的案例研究，认为在定居者殖民主义的条件下，土著人民在国家军队中的包容和承认推进了定居者殖民计划，旨在剥夺土著人民的土地并将他们同化到新的定居者社会中。它强调，从历史上看，军事组织一直支持定居者殖民主义，并将目前在军队中对土著人民的包容和承认定位为这段历史的延续。
