This history stretches back to first contact, when Europeans began imposing structures that still shape the present. Long before ICE, long before borders, long before the idea of “illegal” people, colonial governments were already deciding who belonged and who didn’t. Historians such as Andrés Reséndez (2016) have shown that Indigenous enslavement and policing were not side stories but central pillars of colonization across North America, Mexico, and the Caribbean, early enforcement systems designed to control land, bodies, and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndigenous nations across Turtle Island welcomed newcomers with protocols of visiting, trade, kinship, and diplomacy. Indigenous scholars have documented how movement across the continent was relational, unrestricted, and grounded in responsibilities to land and community (Simpson, 2017; Alfred, 2009; Anderson, 2011). Europeans did not enter an empty land; they entered a hemisphere full of sovereign nations with their own laws, governance, traditions, and teachings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, European powers were already creating hierarchies of belonging among themselves. British colonial officials frequently described incoming Irish migrants as dangerous, undesirable, or “unfit,” using fear-based rhetoric to justify exclusion and control (Kenny, 2014). Spanish colonial administrations used similar narratives to manage movement and maintain power in their territories (Reséndez, 2016). These early patterns of racialized migration control laid the groundwork for the enforcement systems that would later emerge in Turtle Island (North America).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern journalism has documented how these colonial logics continue today. Reporting from The Guardian, Reuters, The New York Times, and the Associated Press has shown how ICE’s detention practices, raids, and family separations disproportionately impact migrant and Indigenous descendant communities, especially in regions where ancestral homelands cross the U.S. and Mexico border (Davis, 2018; Dickerson, 2019; Associated Press, 2020; Reuters, 2021).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow can people be “illegal” on stolen land, and on lands their ancestors have lived on since time immemorial? Indigenous scholars have long argued that the concept of “illegal” people is a colonial invention. It’s a tool used to control land, restrict movement, and justify violence (Coulthard, 2014; Simpson, 2017; Alfred, 2009). Many communities targeted by modern enforcement systems have ancestral ties to these lands that go back thousands of years. The border itself is a colonial line drawn across Indigenous homelands, dividing families, nations, and trade routes (Grande, 2015). This graphic speaks to that truth. It connects the long history of colonial enforcement from pass systems and residential schools to modern immigration policing. It’s a reminder that Indigenous peoples have always been here, and will always be here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis artwork\/map was created by Michael McArdle Nakoma, an Anishinaabe-Lakota artist whose work focuses on cultural education and Indigenous history. The map shown here is a visual representation of the many Indigenous Nations across Turtle Island - North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. It’s meant to help viewers understand the vastness and diversity of Indigenous communities throughout the continent. As with many historical maps, there may be inaccuracies or omissions, so viewers should keep that in mind when learning from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAho Shamay!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlfred, T.
