We Are All Here To Stay? Indigeneity, Migration, And ‘Decolonizing’ The Treaty Right To Be Here, Amar Bhatia Jan 2013

We Are All Here To Stay? Indigeneity, Migration, And ‘Decolonizing’ The Treaty Right To Be Here, Amar Bhatia

Articles & Book Chapters

This article examines issues of transnational migration in the settler-colonial context of Canada. First, I review some of the recent debates about foregrounding Indigeneity and decolonization in anti-racist thought and work, especially in relation to critical and anti-racist approaches to migration. The article then moves from this debate to the question of ‘our right to be here’, the relationship of this right to the treaties, and how migrant rights and treaty relations perspectives might interact in a context that must be informed by Indigenous laws and legal traditions.
