Colonialism Is Crime
There is powerful evidence that the colonization of Indigenous people was and is a crime, and that that crime is on-going. Achieving historical colonial goals often meant committing acts that were criminal even at the time. The consequences of this oppression and criminal victimization is perhaps the critical factor explaining why Indigenous people today are overrepresented as victims and offenders in the settler colonist criminal justice systems. This book presents an analysis of the relationship between these colonial crimes and their continuing criminal and social consequences that exist today. The authors focus primarily on countries colonized by Britain, especially the United States. Social harm theory, human rights covenants, and law are used to explain the criminal aspects of the historical laws and their continued effects. The final chapter looks at the responsibilities of settler-colonists in ameliorating these harms and the actions currently being taken by Indigenous people themselves.

Indigenous Justice and Gender
This new volume offers a broad overview of topics pertaining to
gender-related health, violence, and healing. Employing a
strength-based approach (as opposed to a deficit model), the
chapters address the resiliency of Indigenous women and two-spirit
people in the face of colonial violence and structural racism. The
book centers the concept of \"rematriation\"-the concerted effort to
place power, peace, and decision making back into the female space,
land, body, and sovereignty-as a decolonial practice to combat
injustice. Chapters include such topics as reproductive health,
diabetes, missing and murdered Indigenous women, Indigenous women
in the academy, and Indigenous women and food sovereignty. As part
of the Indigenous Justice series, this book provides an overview of
the topic, geared toward undergraduate and graduate classes.

STERILIZATION OF AMERICAN INDIAN WOMEN REVISITED
Why revisit the sterilization of American Indian women? This is an issue from the past, right? Wrong. The colonial context of coerced sterilization is not only part of the history of African American, Hispanic, Puerto Rican, American Indian, and Alaska Native women but also includes Indigenous women from Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Coerced sterilization, however, is not included in much of the literature written about Indigenous women from these (and other) countries. It is important for people to be informed about the impact of colonialism and how it created historical trauma, historical oppression, and structural oppression in marginalized communities.

MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN AND GIRLS
Native american and Alaska Native women, and Canadian First Nations women, have been victimized at alarming rates for generations, and for years these victims have been rendered invisible and largely ignored. Finding solutions to the tragedy of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) is fraught with obstacles and dilemmas. Today, tribal officials and grassroots organizations are bringing attention specifically to those issues in the continuing fight to find effective solutions. Listening sessions across the United States with tribal leaders, advocates, law enforcement, and communities have raised concerns about the many victimizations endured by Indigenous women. Tribal leaders are
