À propos de cet audio

 “A phenomenal contribution to our understanding of the ongoing violence throughout the Americas against [Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people].” — Randall Akee, the Kidd Professor of Indigenous Governance and Development, Harvard Kennedy School

An extraordinary forensic history of the MMIWGT crisis that unmasks the Americas’ oldest and most relentless crime: Native genocide

Since the arrival of Columbus, thousands of perpetrators have gotten away with murder, burying evidence of their crimes in police reports and court testimony. How Settlers Get Away with Murder unearths that hidden evidence to expose the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWGT).

Historian and citizen of Cherokee Nation Liza Black examines 5 cases in Canada, the US, and Mexico, from 1908 to 2017. Rejecting narratives that blame victims’ poverty or trauma, Black dissects police files, coroners’ reports, and court records to uncover a harsh historical reality: The evidence of settler violence has been hiding in plain sight.

This landmark work delivers a damning verdict: The same systems of law and policing that have targeted Native people for centuries have also shielded their killers. Through meticulous archival interrogation, Black demonstrates how police, courts, and coroners have functioned not as instruments of justice but as pillars of a system designed to protect settler violence.
