 Glen Coulthard expands on the theoretical framework of resurgence and refusal in Red Skin, White Masks: Rejecting the Colonial Politics of Recognition (2014) and presents a critical analysis of the historical and political experiences of Indigenous people within Canada. Coulthard argues that the current methods of reconciliation tend to dehistoricize and neutralize acts of dispossession, violence, and displacement of Indigenous peoples from their lands and cultures. For Coulthard, settler colonialism is an ongoing process, not merely the legacy of past injustices. This is evident in the unsettled land claims, the dispossession of land, the limitations placed on Indigenous governments, and the displacement of Indigenous ways of life—which are tied to access to traditional territories. Rather than relying on recognition from within the colonial-settler relationship, Coulthard advocates for Indigenous sovereignty informed by an intellectual, social, political, and artistic movement that embodies a “self-reflective revitalization” of traditional values, principles, and cultural practices.
