The term primarily refers to intentional violence and is used most often in the context of war; however, terror and terrorism in relation to Indigenous people are reproduced differently under the US/Canadian settler empire. What does it mean to call Indigenous people terrorists on their own land? This is a question Lenape feminist Joanne Barker addresses in Red Scare: The State’s Indigenous Terrorist, noting, “Indigenous People are identified and made identifiable by the state as terrorists in order to advance imperialist objectives” (p. vii). Two defining concepts she uses, the Murderable Indian and the Kinless Indian, are meant to be identifiers for how Indianness is “terrorism” and therefore justifies the genocide and Indigenous removal from their lands. The Indigenous feminist framework which Barker takes up disentangles settler policies, signifiers, and language used for antiterrorist laws and sentiments. Terror and the fear-driving discourses of settler empire reinforce a designation for settler justifications and weaponizing for harsher sentencing of the state’s exploitation, policing, and violence under the systems of colonialism and capitalism. In the US and Canadian contexts, terrorism and terrorists are defined exclusively within settler political order. Thus, the “red scare” embodies the full spectrum of settler racism and xenophobic fear that justifies war-making against Indigenous people. The racism and fear further perpetuates into a belief that security and social stability Red Scare: The State’s Indigenous Terrorist by Joanne Barker University of California Press, 2021","PeriodicalId":41647,"journal":{"name":"NAIS-Native American and Indigenous Studies Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79514841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This “colonial restructuring of spaces” (p. 33), as Mishuana Goeman describes it in Mark My Words: Native Women Mapping Our Nations, unfolds not just on our lands and on our bodies, but also in the symbolic realm— in the spaces of narrative and representation. Indigenous peoples have always contested and “remapped” these restructurings within Native worldviews, histories, and practices. Engaging these remappings, scholars have increasingly looked to Native concepts of space both to critique colonial forms of (racialized, gendered) spatial domination and to affirm the continuance of these concepts in contemporary Indigenous life. Lisa Brooks, for example, reorganizes histories of literary production and space in the Native northeast around awikhigawogan, an Abenaki concept that braids together the activities of writing, mapmaking, and the production of (Native) space. Among other Native spatial concepts, Goeman herself has drawn on the spiraling world of the Mvskoke (Creek) stomp ground in the poetry of Joy Harjo.
