本文考察了美国财产立法中的种族、土著和景观政治。它的实质是豪德诺索尼人的家园，现在是纽约州北部的领土。2005年美国最高法院的谢里尔市诉奥奈达印第安民族案否认了奥奈达族通过购买土地所有权将其主权扩展到原保留地的权利。在本文中，我将遵循“非印第安特征”一词的起源，该词最早写在谢里尔案的判决中。在追溯这一术语的谱系时，我研究了独立战争后嵌入美国土地调查工具和财产创造话语中的种族原则。然后，我讨论了荷兰土地公司、纽约州代理人和自耕农定居者是如何通过剥夺豪德诺索尼人的行为和印第安人自卑的概念，使定居者拥有主权的景观。由于土著人民今天继续挑战美国的财产法律概念，移民国家已经重新授权了美国土著主权的框架，这是有界限的，可能只会在领土上退缩。我考虑了种族主义者对印度劣等的理解是如何将土地视为财产的，以表明美国主权是如何在领土上建立在种族和地方的反本土概念之上的。
This article examines the politics of race, indigeneity, and landscape in US American enactments of property. Its substance is the homelands of the Haudenosaunee, now territorialized as upstate New York. The 2005 US Supreme Court case City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation denied the Oneida of the Haudenosaunee the right to expand their sovereignty onto former reservation lands through the purchase of land title. In this article, I follow the genesis of the term “non-Indian character” of an area, first written in the Sherrill decision. In tracing the genealogy of this term, I examine the racial tenets embedded in US land survey tools and discourse of property-making after the Revolutionary War. I then discuss how efforts of the Holland Land Company, New York state agents, and yeoman settlers rendered settler sovereign landscapes through acts of Haudenosaunee dispossession and concepts of Indian inferiority. As Indigenous people continue to challenge US legal concepts of property today, the settler state has reauthorized this framing of Native American sovereignty that is bounded and may only recede territorially. I consider how racist understandings of Indian inferiority maintain land as property, to show how US sovereignty rests territorially on anti-indigenous concepts of race and place.
