Abstract

The article focuses on a microhistorical examination of a one-hundred-acre plot on Penelakut Island to explore broader patterns of colonial land use, displacement, and changing relationships to place. Topics include the dispossession and displacement of Indigenous communities, the transformation of settler attitudes toward land over time, and the layered cultural meanings attached to a specific landscape across colonial and postcolonial periods.
