This article is framed as a question about historical methodology that imagines another way of living with the stories of the past. By investigating two massacres in Palestine (Tantura and Kufr Qasim), the article works to present an alternate reading of the past, both in terms of Palestinian voices and relationality with historical sources. By arguing from an understanding informed by Indigenous history as a decolonial praxis, this article relies on the voices and work of two women, Radwa Ashour and Samia Halaby, to map anew the stories of the past through the ongoing violence of the present. Their work forms the basis for an engagement of the primary question involved: Can imagining Indigenous history, of which settler colonial violence is one part of many, be more than the victim’s desperate claim for settler recognition of a people’s humanity?
