Imagine a world where you, your family, and your friends are horribly mistreated and continuously exploited. Imagine a world where your land is made capital of and the world turns the other cheek when you are drowning in hopelessness, screaming in hopes of somebody’s empathy and assistance. Imagine having your home disruptively invaded and watching your community change in what seems to be overnight, but you are treated as powerless by foreign white men. Sadly, this dystopian world has been and continues to be the reality for many black, indigenous, peoples of color (BIPOC). Through the European Expansion, BIPOC communities have been drastically hurt in a multitude of ways; however, the focus of this paper will be on environmental humanity. Decisions Europeans made when invading BIPOC communities centuries ago had lethal effects that have become embedded in structures of power.
