Description:

This session will be designated as in-person, however, the organizers are happy to accommodate virtual presenting options for participants who cannot present in person.

Session description: In an era of anthropogenic climate crisis, Indigenous environments and spaces often are placed at the center of co-existing and conflicting contestations over their use, and the ultimate fates of what these spaces are to become. Whether it is through debates over ‘conservation’ and whether Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty can genuinely be allowed to take precedence on Indigenous lands within settler colonial contexts, settler colonial whitewashing/greenwashing of land theft and continued extractive activities on Indigenous lands, or the ways in which Indigenous land becomes held up as potential sites of salvation from the effects of climate crisis, it is clear that control and possession of Indigenous lands are still a central logic of settler colonialism, even settler colonialism that grapples with its own anthropogenic legacies of harm. We invite participants who are doing work on the contested politics of land, environment, and governance in Indigenous spatial contexts, to join this session and broader conversation with us.
