“Colonizers produce knowledge of a territory within a specific framework that allows them to understand and ‘know’ place on their own terms. The ‘imaginary geography’ justifies possession over space by privileging the colonizer’s representations of territory.”
– Matthew Dyce
“Modernity constructs it’s other as a way of privileging itself”
– Edward Said
“Indigenous place names are not simply geographic identifiers; they are houses for layers of information, including cultural and historical knowledge, environmental conditions, availability of resources, and Aboriginal identity”
– Müller-Wille, 1989; Thorton, 1997; Cruikshank, 1990
