Ongoing Violations Against Barabaig Pastoralists

Exposing how state-led development in Tanzania has displaced the Barabaig community, undermining their land rights and livelihoods.

Vilima Vitatu Village

The Tanzanian Central Government has taken 12,830 hectares of land in Vilima Vitatu village and allocate it to the WMA with consent.

The University of Michigan has its origins in land coercively purchased by the United States Federal Government from the Anishinaabeg (including Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi) and Wyandot nations. While this project documents ongoing cases of land expropriation and dispossession outside of the United States, we are also based in a university that stands, like almost all property in the United States, on lands obtained from indigenous peoples, generally through violence, intimidation, and dishonesty. Knowing and acknowledging where we live and work does not change this, but a thorough understanding of the ongoing consequences of these histories must shape our research, teaching, and outreach to create a future that supports human flourishing and justice for all individuals.
