The European colonizers were very nasty and crucial people. According to Jess Whatcott, they did not hesitate to use physical force against the Indigenous people and even used sexual force against the women too (pg.19). This impacted many women that were a part of the indigenous tribes. In the Podcast, All My Relations & Indigenous Feminism, Wilbur and Keene talk about how representation matters with them due to what they had to experience. Wilbur explains how, “our safety of body is affected by the way we are perceived in our lives,”(minute 27). When Qwo-Li Driskill talks about how these people were stolen from their bodies she is referring to the women that were sexually assaulted by the European colonizers. They didn’t have a choice to give their bodies up, it was stolen from them.

The impact that Europeans had on the Indigenous people has affected them to this day. In the short video, “Beyond Recognition,” Corrina Gould talks about how their sacred land of buried ancestors are being colonized and constructed on. Corrina and her people do not stand for this and have protests where their land is being destroyed. These protests that happen let the indigenous people speak their voices and concerns with no violence or consequences. This is very important for them because they do not have much land left so they have to protect and take care of all that’s left of the Indigenous tribes.
