Abstract

[The violence of settler-colonialism is a symptom of a deeply diseased epistemology, one that forms an organizing isolationist logic and a strategy of control through human disconnection from, and dismemberment of, the natural world. Indigenous alternatives to the epistemological violence of settler-colonialism cultivate and sustain solidarities among human and beyond-human worlds. Indigenous onto-epistemologies are grounded in a spiritual activism centering Indigenous connectedness among lands, languages, and traditional practices. Indigenous ways of knowing and being, restore and renew relationalities from deep within places, contexts, histories, and the narrative memories of the Land and her People. Restoring these Indigenous relational ways of knowing and being, (re)storying our connections, remembering the cyclical nature of their patterns, and the particular constellation of their relationships, is the how of Indigenous renewal and resurgence. This chapter highlights the practices of wisdom embodied within ancient philosophies and teachings that remain vibrant and alive today through the praxis of Indigenous Elders, the generations, and our still-living natural world. Indigenous Elders invigorate a vast web of interconnected fibers that hold on to the connections between us and our relatives of the living world and our collective, synergistic ways of being and knowing.]
