在加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰和美国等定居者殖民地，殖民主义对土著人民健康、社会、经济和文化经历的历史影响得到了很好的记录。然而，尽管这是一种普遍使用的比喻，但很少有人确切地注意到殖民进程究竟如何造成这些民族国家土著人民和非土著人民之间的当代健康差距。在考虑了定义土著遗传的相关问题之后，本文参照历史创伤等新兴概念，侧重于将殖民化作为土著健康的驱动力来运作。殖民相对于健康的概念化及其批评，然后与种族主义作为一种交叉和重叠现象的作用一起被审查。总而言之，在探索定居者与土著关系未来的影响之前，我们考虑了理解和解释土著劣势的方法以及非殖民化的可能性。
In settler-colonies such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States, the historical impacts of colonisation on the health, social, economic and cultural experiences of Indigenous peoples are well documented. However, despite being a commonly deployed trope, there has been scant attention paid to precisely how colonial processes contribute to contemporary disparities in health between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in these nation-states. After considering pertinent issues in defining indigeneity, this paper focuses on operationalising colonisation as a driver of indigenous health, with reference to emerging concepts such as historical trauma. Conceptualisations of coloniality vis-a-vis health and their critiques are then examined alongside the role of racism as an intersecting and overlapping phenomenon. To conclude, approaches to understanding and explaining Indigenous disadvantage are considered alongside the potential of decolonisation, before exploring ramifications for the future of settler-indigenous relations.
