Earth Relationalities: Indigenous Ecologies and Environmentalisms
Sun, August 9, 8:00 to 9:30am, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
Within and beyond Turtle Island, many Indigenous communities emphasize the importance of relational care with our more-than-human kin, including (Grand)mother Earth and her biomes and fauna. However, several traditional practices have been threatened, stolen, and extinguished due to colonial policies that limit or forbid relational care. In answering the call of Kari Marie Norgaard and James V. Fenelon (Standing Rock Lakota/Dakota) “Toward an Indigenous Environmental Sociology”, this session investigates these relationalities and the sacred practices of Indigenous Peoples as stewards of our/their ancestral and current lands. Of particular emphasis is the challenges of these practices during historical and present colonization, and the futurities of Indigenous ecologies and environmentalisms as part of Indigenous sovereignties.
