Abstract:
"Since the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in June 2015, Canadian communities, institutions, and governments have engaged in some form of reconciliation. Initially, these efforts were about addressing the historical and continuing oppression of Indigenous peoples through taking up some of the Calls to Action. Predating and parallel to these efforts have been the continuing work of Indigenous leaders, Indigenous communities, water/land warriors, Elders and Knowledge Keepers, and the land back movement to get settler society to honour treaties, negotiate outstanding treaties, repatriate Indigenous lands, and recognize and enact Indigenous sovereignty. Consequently, ideas like Indigenization and decolonization have found their way into the general lexicon of North American society. To a lesser degree, the notion of unsettling has evolved into broader discussions of relationships between Indigenous peoples and settler society/governments. This collection shares the growing scholarly and research areas of Indigenization, decolonization, and unsettling. The chapters explore, examine, and reveal the work of Indigenous scholars, Indigenous communities, activists, and settler partners, whose work interrogates and disrupts settler narratives."-- Provided by publisher.
