Sovereign Stories: Indigenous Medias and Narratives

Sun, August 9, 10:00 to 11:30am, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)

Description

Storytelling is an essential component of Indigenous ways of knowing and being as part of oral traditions. Scholars such as Jo-Ann Archibald Q’um Q’um Xiiem (Sto:lo), Lee Maracle (Sto:lo), and Shawn Wilson (Opaskwayak Cree) emphasize storywork and (re)Indigenizing narratives as both interpersonal and academic urgencies in (re)building Indigenous and (re)Indigenizing methodologies. This session explores scholarly work that aligns Indigenous practices of “making story” in various modalities, including media representations, media utilizations by Indigenous Peoples and Native Nations. We additionally highlight work that utilizes storywork as a means of anti-colonial research and dissemination of findings, as well as challenges faced in the academy during the praxis of research sovereignty.
