BIPOC = Black, Indigenous, People of Color
A BIPOC lens puts Black abolition and Native Justice in conversation and coalition with one another. It highlights their historical intersections and differences and “the common ground of Afro-descendant and Indigenous experience, such as land dispossession, political marginalization, and a shared desire for sovereignty and self-determination.”
Taken from the Introduction to the special issue on “Rethinking Blackness and Indigeneity in the Light of Settler Colonial Theory” in American Indian Culture and Research Journal: Vol. 43, No. 2 (2019) http://www.books.aisc.ucla.edu/books
