University of Delaware and the Colonization of Indigenous Lands |
Dr. Pascha Bueno-Hansen, who leads the UDARI Indigenous Programming Committee was interviewed on UD accountability for settler colonialism. The discussion explores the history of Land Grant (Land Grab) Universities and the efforts by the University of Delaware to make amends after benefitting for centuries from the occupation of indigenous people’s lands. It addresses serious questions such as how did Universities benefit from colonization? How did the Lenni Lenape and Nanticoke nations suffer so Universities may thrive? Can UD do more? Has the colonization of indigenous peoples stopped or does it still continue? |
