This is what I don’t get about the vogue for dissolving complex and deep histories into stark Settler vs Indigenous narratives. Every patch of territory on the planet has seen wave after wave after wave after wave of conquest, displacement, and assimilation. And yet only a very small number of these conquests, carried about by specific groups, are denounced as morally monstrous.
