  • December 2019: The British Government launched this policy to confine Indigenous people to permanent settlements for farming and European-style education. This initiative equated farming with civilisation and traditional lifestyles like hunting and trapping as savage. The policy was supported by legal principles from The Law of Nations to justify the restriction of Indigenous territories.[1]
