Being homeless in one's homeland is a colonial legacy for many Indigenous people in settler societies. The construction of Commonwealth nation-states from colonial settler societies depended on the dispossession of Indigenous peoples from their lands. The legacy of that dispossession and related attempts at assimilation that disrupted Indigenous practices, languages, and cultures--including patterns of housing and land use--can be seen today in the disproportionate number of Indigenous people affected by homelessness in both rural and urban settings.
