More than two dozen stories of Indigenous resistance to the
privatization and allotment of Indigenous lands Land privatization
has been a longstanding and ongoing settler colonial process
separating Indigenous peoples from their traditional homelands,
with devastating consequences. Allotment Stories delves into this
conflict, creating a complex conversation out of narratives of
Indigenous communities resisting allotment and other dispossessive
land schemes. From the use of homesteading by nineteenth-century
Anishinaabe women to maintain their independence to the role that
roads have played in expropriating Guam's Indigenous heritage to
the links between land loss and genocide in California, Allotment
Stories collects more than two dozen chronicles of white
imperialism and Indigenous resistance. Ranging from the historical
to the contemporary and grappling with Indigenous land struggles
around the globe, these narratives showcase both scholarly and
creative forms of expression, constructing a multifaceted book of
diverse disciplinary perspectives. Allotment Stories highlights how
Indigenous peoples have consistently used creativity to sustain
collective ties, kinship relations, and cultural commitments in the
face of privatization. At once informing readers while provoking
them toward further research into Indigenous resilience, this
collection pieces back together some of what the forces of
allotment have tried to tear apart. Contributors: Jennifer Adese, U
