    Racism and settler colonialism are deeply connected. Settler colonialism involved invading lands belonging to Indigenous peoples, dispossessing them of those lands, and attempting to destroy or assimilate the original societies and cultures. This was justified by racist ideologies that portrayed Indigenous peoples as savage or uncivilized. Maintaining colonial control required the ongoing subjugation and oppression of Indigenous peoples, often through violent, coercive and racist policies and actions. Racism against Indigenous peoples was thus an integral part of the colonial project of establishing non-Indigenous societies and economies on stolen lands. The legacies of this history continue to shape race relations and Indigenous-settler relations today.
