Settler colonialism is a form of colonialism where settlers move into a territory, often displacing the indigenous population. This process involves the establishment of a new society that seeks to dominate and control the land, resources, and political structures of the area. Examples include the colonization of North America and Australia, where indigenous peoples faced significant loss of land and culture. The impact of settler colonialism is profound, leading to long-lasting social, economic, and political consequences for indigenous communities. It often results in systemic inequalities and ongoing struggles for recognition and rights, as seen in movements advocating for the rights of Native Americans and Aboriginal Australians.
