Abstract
Presented as the opening keynote to the symposium Lusophone Land Legacies in Comparative Perspective, hosted online in May 2021 by the University of Saskatchewan, which formed the basis for this volume. It serves as an orienting reflection on the underlying importance and problems of enduring colonial impacts on land relations. With a focus on another colonial context, it demonstrates the commonalities still faced by post-colonial nations worldwide.
