Part 1: Case

====The resolution demands that we discuss nuclear power through the lens of the liberal Humanist discourse of the settler colonial state that will always undermine the interests and the demands of the natives for land. We constantly see the use of rhetoric in discussions of nuclear power framed around protecting the settler and to keep them from feeling guilty. This discussion would merely manifest re-center the colonizer and the colonized systems of exploitation that reproduces because of the grand structure of settler colonialism. ====

Meet Charley Colorado, a man part of the Navajo who lived in his ancestral sheepherding grounds where the United States had uranium mine shafts in 1957. Today he faces extreme consequences as a result of the US's failure to notify indigenous people with the dangers and consequences of radioactive waste that they were being exposed to.

Churchill, 3 (Ward Churchill, I am Indigenist: Notes on the Ideology of the Fourth World, Acts of Rebellion: The Ward Churchill Reader, p. _)
Not only is it perfectly reasonable to assert that a restoration of native control over unceded lands within the U. S. would do nothing to perpetuate such problems as sexism and classism, but the reconstitution of indigenous societies this would entail stands to free the affected portions of North America from such maladies altogether. Moreover, it can be said that the process should have a tangible impact in terms of diminishing such things elsewhere. The principle is this: sexism, racism, and all the rest arose here as concomitants to the emergence and consolidation of the eurocentric state form of sociopolitical and economic organization. Everything the state does, everything it can do, is entirely contingent upon its maintaining its internal cohesion, a cohesion signified above all by its pretended territorial integrity, its ongoing domination of Indian Country. Given this, it seems obvious that the literal dismemberment of the state inherent to Indian land recovery correspondingly reduces the ability of the state to sustain the imposition of objectionable relations within itself. It follows that realization of indigenous land rights serves to undermine or destroy the ability of the status quo to continue imposing a racist, sexist, classist, homophobic, militaristic order upon nonindians.  A brief aside: anyone with doubts as to whether it's possible to bring about the dismemberment from within of a superpower state in this day and age ought to sit down and have a long talk with a guy named Mikhail Gorbachev. It would be better yet if you could chew the fat with Leonid Brezhnev, a man who we can be sure would have replied in all sincerity—only three decades ago—that this was the most outlandish idea he'd ever heard. Well, look on a map today, and see if you can find the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It ain't there, my friends. Instead, you're seeing, and you're seeing it more and more, the reemergence of the very nations Léon Trotsky and his colleagues consigned to the "dustbin of history" clear back at the beginning of the century. These megastates are not immutable. They can be taken apart. They can be destroyed. But first we have to decide that we can do it, and that we will do it.   So, all things considered, when indigenist movements like AIM advance slogans like "U. S. Out of North America, " nonindian radicals shouldn't react defensively. They should cheer. They should see what they might do to help. When they respond defensively to sentiments like those expressed by AIM, what they are ultimately defending is the very government, the very order they claim to oppose so resolutely. And if they manifest this contradiction often enough, consistently enough, pathologically enough, then we have no alternative but to take them at their word, that they really are at some deep level or other aligned—all protestations to the contrary notwithstanding—with the mentality which endorses our permanent dispossession and disenfranchisement, our continuing oppression, our ultimate genocidal obliteration as self-defining and self-determining peoples.  In other words, they make themselves part of the problem rather than becoming part of the solution.
 

Only having a willingness to exterminate the settler can ensure the destruction of U.S. colonialism.

Part 2 is Theory

Procedural arguments like T and theory are just another tool to maintain settler colonialism and whiteness in debate and this is a reverse voting issue – their reading of procedurals replicates the disciplinary power of the state over native populations. Think about it, the negative will constantly change the goal posts of what is considered "acceptable" to benefit their privileged stance in debate, this is no different than the history of broken treaties and trading in glass beads that have been staples of whiteness. Their interpretation of debate is an attempt to erase Indigeneity to create another space of exception which is key to maintain the sovereignty of settlerism

Poems Aff

l poblamiento de América, 
se realizó por el Bering,
de otra forma, ¿cómo hicieren?,
no podría entender yo.
Primitivos hacia el Norte,
primitivos hacia el Centro,
primitivos hacia el Sur;
aún no tenían glamour,
las leyes tenían su corte,
y viajaban tour en tour. 
Tres períodos conformaron,
nueva civilización,
Meso Indio, Neo Indio
y el Indo Hispano en que, hermano,
cultura se implementó,
con signos de tradición.
Luego llegó la conquista,
y en el Norte los ingleses,
imponen puntos de vista,
a indígenas iroqueses,
y a otros tantos de su lista.
En el Centro y hacia el Sur,
Colón, enviado de España,
llega con sus artimañas,
disimulando glamour,
y con todas las patrañas,
al indígena, en talud,
destrozan tal cual pirañas.
En tres siglos que duró,
dicha colonización,
esclavitud se conformó,
bajo el yugo y sumisión.
Africanos secuestrados,
para trabajos forzados,
pues indígenas agotados,
no respondían en breve,
con tanto látigo hereje.
Mayas, Aztecas e Incas,
Arawacos y Caribes,
junto a los Timotocuicas,
sus patrias no circunscriben,
pero en las guerras que aplican,
les doman hasta el declive.
Luego la mezcla de razas,
del ser humano, en razón,
por no traer de sus casas,
mujeres, el Español.
Blancos con indios y negros,
fue la gran conformación,
tal vez, conformes los suegros,
y el mestizaje prosperó.
La unión conformó los Pardos;
negros con indios, los zambos;
negros con zambos, los prietos;
otros, y que salto atrás,
¿no podían inventar más?.
Blanco con indio, mestizo;
blanco con negro, mulato;
blanco y mulato, cuaternón;
!Oh, cuántos nombres, carrizo.
Luego, con el cuaternón,
se conformó el quinteron
y ahí termina la cuestión. 
Surge después la nobleza,
lo político y social,
de una manera bestial;
y entre tantos abatares,
los blancos peninsulares
y también blancos de orilla;
blancos criollos ¡qué maravilla!
y al indio, al negro y al pardo,
les funden cual mantequilla;
naturales que sin embargo,
despiertan de pesadilla.
América se vuelve tortilla,
pues descendiente español,
con el negro y el indígena,
entran en revolución,
y con firme decisión,
vencen al conquistador,
liberados, cual maravilla;
sólo que otro la agarró,
convirtiéndola en guerrilla,
con su desprecio y acción.
Los aportes culturales,
transmitidos por los grupos,
comenzaron por conucos,
las hallacas, los maizales,
la mazamorra, el cazabe,
y los grupos musicales;
hoy son ellos primordiales,
conformando nuevos trucos,
que con democracias reales,
vencen imperios malucos;
no habrá más rivalidades.

Our existence in this place isn't neutral. Welcome to Dallas- a land muddled with a genocidal history- the Kiowa, Comanche, Sioux, Crows, Blackfeet  and other tribes were systematically exterminated in order for structures like St. Marks. Our fugitive epistemology of poetry reads this city spatially and temporally as a place informed by colonialism; this is how we unsettle the settler

Martineau and Ritskes 14 (Jarrett Martineau , University of Victoria, and Eric Ritskes,  University of Toronto, "Fugitive indigeneity: Reclaiming the terrain of decolonial struggle through Indigenous art", 2014, Decolonization: Indigeneity, Education and Society Vol. 3,  No. 1 pg 5-9)/ warner
Decolonial art does not abdicate or abandon the present; it re-inscribes indigeneity
AND
colonialism's best attempts to confine and contain Indigenous creators to the 'traditional'. 

There are forms of colonialism in which we are not usually aware of, such as the Nuclear! Nuclear production, at every stage, happens at the risk of the lives and culture of indigenous populations. Whether it be through of exploitation of natural resources, testing or dumping, these forms of nuclear colonialism and environmental racism are well and alive today. Thus, prohibiting the production of nuclear power would eliminate the continued destruction of native populations through nuclear production.
