+This debate is an opportunity to deploy Red Pedagogy, a praxis which forefronts Native intellectualism and allows us to jump-start resistance to colonization. The role of the ballot is to vote for the team which best activates indigenous political agency. |

+1. Disappearance Link. This isn’t a link of omission, the 1ac is violent in that it is a violent forgetting of colonization. The colonizers trick is a slight of hand—settlers don't just desire the disappearance of indigenous people—but require the disappearance of the settler as well—a forgetting of the violent eradication of native people that founds the formation of the United States—Settler colonialism demands a forgetting of the original violence of the state through popular appeals. Environmental racism doesn’t exist in a void it is rooted in genocidal settler colonialism. |

+2. Land Link. The aff’s goals are predicated on the colonization of indigenous populations-they require settler colonial control of the land in order to create the stage for their radical ideologies. Even if they win that they help indigenous people that just allows the US to say everything is OK now. The aff’s progressive politics does nothing to resist settler colonial violence, in the aff world we fix environmental racism but we are still on stolen land supporting a violent genocidal system. |

+Maybe I can explain what I’m getting at here by way of indulging in a sort of grand fantasy. Close your eyes for a moment and dream along with me that the current progressive agenda has been realized. Never mind how, let’s just dream that it’s been fulfilled. Things like racism, sexism, ageism, militarism, classism, and the sorts of corporatism with which we are now afflicted have been abolished. The police have been leashed and the prison-industrial complex dismantled. Income disparities have been eliminated across the board, decent housing and healthcare are available to all, an amply endowed educational system is actually devoted to teaching rather than indoctrinating our children. The whole nine yards. Sound good? You bet. Nonetheless, there’s still a very basic—and I daresay uncomfortable—question which must be posed: In this seemingly rosy scenario, what, exactly, happens to the rights of native peoples? Face it, to envision the progressive transformation of “American society” is to presuppose that “America”—that is, the United States—will continue to exist. And, self-evidently, the existence of the United States is, as it has always been and must always be, predicated first and foremost on denial of the right of self-determining existence to every indigenous nation within its purported borders. Absent this denial, the very society progressives seek to transform would never have had a landbase upon which to constitute itself in any form at all. So, it would have had no resources with which to actualize a mode of production, and there would be no basis for arranging or rearranging the relations of production. All the dominoes fall from there, don’t they? In effect, the progressive agenda is no less contingent upon the continuing internal colonial domination of indigenous nations than that advanced by Bill Clinton.10 Perhaps we can agree to a truism on this score: Insofar as progressivism shares with the status quo a need to maintain the structure of colonial dominance over native peoples, it is at base no more than a variation on a common theme, intrinsically a part of the very order it claims to oppose. As Vine Deloria once observed in a related connection, “these guys just keep right on circling the same old rock while calling it by different names. |

+3. Environmentalism Link. The aff fails to account for the complexity of the decision making process in Native American tribes, siding solely with the environmental movement fails to understand larger problems involved in decisions about mines resources. Natives should be allowed to control their own (uranium) mines. Turns all impacts dealing with indigenous peoples. |

+The alternative is to reject the 1AC and affirm a decolonial social education which situates land return as our first political priority. This debate is a question of pedagogy and imagining a world without the United States through advocating indigenous land return is a first priority. Colonization is the root cause of oppression, suffering, and exploitation. Only a return to an indigenous politics through the return of indigenous ancestral lands can remedy the ills of colonialism. |
