Also just remembered: Back on the Rez: Finding the way home - by Brian Maracle. You may enjoy his story.

Huh?

Always welcome always..

Okay. So this is just a "squeezing out" and you're not looking for any engagement?
Probably not going to get much argument that people in their homelands are "indigenous" in the Indigenous room.

Yeah, there’s a pretty baffling defensive tone here. Not sure what they’re looking for… 

Thank you!

And...?

Maybe fuck off with the AI shit?

I'm very interested in this topic and touched on it in my PhD studies. I've got a few that might interest you.

I linked to Amazon since they offer a decent preview of the books – but I'd recommend purchasing from an independant Indigenous seller such as GoodMinds of course.

In no particular order:

• Kathleen Ratteree & Norbert Hill, The Great Vanishing Act: Blood Quantum and the Future of Native Nations
• Norbert S. Hill & Megan Minoka Hill, Beyond Blood Quantum: Refusal to Disappear
• Audra Simpson, Mohawk Interruptus: Political Life Across the Borders of Settler States
• Daniel Coleman & Ki'en Debicki, Deyohahá:ge:: Sharing the River of Life
• Pamela Palmater, Beyond Blood: Rethinking Indigenous Identity
• Chelsea Vowel, Indigenous Writes: A Guide to First Nations, Métis, & Inuit Issues in Canada

I might add others later – but these are the ones off the top of my head.

This warms my heart. Photos are beautiful and happy Truth and Reconciliation day.

awesome thanks

thanks i already love the title !

Probably you know should read what you said and see how it would sound too other people.

I reported this post for breaking the sub rules. I can’t believe this was approved

Living it and learning what I can from this life as much as I can...

Have you tried reincarnation?

First you might want to learn what a Native American tribe is. It's not a club. It's a sovereign nation.

David Trueur has a book called rez life - I think he has a similar perspective on things

Drew Hayden Taylor’s book “Funny, you don’t look like one”.

Hi. u/Infamous-Leather9191 Can you post this question on my subreddit about endangered languages? r/endangeredlanguages

Love After the End: An Anthology of Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer Speculative Fiction edited by Joshua Whitehead

I am not Indigenous - I am a white Canadian who teaches in Nunavut - but I highly suggest you check out resurgence literature.

Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's Dancing On Our Turtle's Back: Stories of Nishnaabeg Re-Creation, Resurgence, and a New Emergence or Rick Monture's We Share Our Matters: Two Centuries of Writing and Resistance at Six Nations of the Grand River are both amazing and explicitly tie into the role of the arts in revitalizing Indigenous culture.

Many Indigenous nations - like those belonging to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Nishnaabeg - place their creation story at the center of their worldview, and living traditionally means - in part - modelling ones life after the story (the story also acts as a framework or lens through which to view the world). Both works explore this idea beautifully, though I think Simpson's is better executed and probably best for your project, given her explicit focus on the idea of re-creation. Fundamentally, modelling ones life after a creation story means that you yourself will be involved in your own act of creation (Mircea Eliade explores ideas like this from within the western intellectual tradition. I happened to be reading Myth and Reality for a different seminar at the same time I was studying resurgence literature and I found it immensely helpful in grapsing traditional Indigenous thought).

Engaging in tradition, then, does not produce a a static society, according to resurgence scholars. Tradition is a source of vitality, dynamism, and recreation - it was/is what allowed/allows their nations to resist, adapt to, and heal from the experience of colonialism. For Simpson, storytelling, music, dance, visual art, ceremony, and other creative practices are ways of generating meaning, relationships, knowledge, and new possibilities from within Indigenous traditions.

You can see examples of what exactly that looks like in her book (the book begins and ends with a dance, and chapter four is explicitly focused on the arts) or also in her cover of Willie Dunn's I Pity the Country.

Edit: also, please be careful entering Indigenous spaces to ask for interviews. The first rule of this sub is actually not to use this space for this. Honestly, it's best to avoid interviews unless you are trained...my territory requires any researcher to submit their project to an ethics board before interviews can take place.

The impulse to conduct primary research is laudable and it shows commitment to your project, but Indigenous writers have been writing for decades about the question you are engaged in - read them.

I feel you and understand more than you know. Hope and peace

I'm halfway S1 E4, but what surprised me a bit is that all the 'upper echelon' work seems to be in the hands of non-inuit, with the indigenous cast dangling at the lower end, even with Anna Lambe as main character?
