This month's word is settler colonialism.
Settler colonialism (noun): The systematic invasion and forced occupation of a territory by a foreign power. Where other forms of colonialism seek to exploit the labor and natural resources of the native, settler colonialism seeks to eliminate the native completely and ultimately replace the native. Settler colonialism will apply methods of mass genocide and massive relocation in order to displace and erase the native from the land that is being colonized.
Settler colonialism in a sentence:
For centuries, United States settler colonialism has and continues to displace the indigenous peoples of North America.
