Introduction: Indigenous Epistemologies and the Study of Religion
Indigenous relationality serves as a spiritual and political framework for sovereignty and kinship that governs the interconnected systems of global Indigenous nations. Consequently, as co-editors of this special issue, we see Indigenous critique as a necessary intervention to challenge the colonial biases, structural racism, and restrictive definitions found within the academic study of religion. We identify our positionalities and describe how …
Making kin: Indigenous relationality in promoting public and political knowledge about religion
Religion is a problematic category when understanding the different sociopolitical dynamics that impact and influence settler Canadian identity and society. However, against the modern western struggles around religion, like that of religion and non-religion, anti-Indigenous racism and Indigenous elimination remain a constant and unifying factor of settler colonialism. Yet Indigenous knowledges are framed by what is called religion through relati…
Critical Indigenous Approaches to the Study of Religion

Our Spiritual Relations: Challenging Settler Colonial Possessiveness of Indigenous Spirituality/Religion
Indigenous spirituality is often appropriated and deployed in support of white settler values that possess and dispossess Indigenous knowledges, materiality, and socio-political relations. As Kim TallBear explains, this settler property regime maintains a colonial exceptionalism that justifies settler naturalization to Indigenous territories. Indigenous spirituality/religion represents situated knowledges and socio-political relations that cannot…
Pilgrimage as Peoplehood: Indigenous Relations and Self-Determination at Places of Catholic Pilgrimage in Mi'kma'ki and the Métis Homeland
Movement across traditional territory to sacred places has always been central to Indigenous thought, action, and governance. And these places are co-constituted by relations with the Land and Waters, with kin, and with other collective peoples, human and more-than-human. This article examines Indigenous experiences of religion and mobility with regards to places of Catholic pilgrimage in Mi’kma’ki territory and the Métis Homeland. We problematiz…

Réflexions sur l’autochtonisation des universités, un cours à la fois
Suite aux 94 appels à l’action de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation en juin 2015, plusieurs institutions postsecondaires se prononcent publiquement sur leur volonté d’instaurer un cours obligatoire sur les questions autochtones pour tous les étudiants. Dans notre article, nous explorons ce qui est entendu par contenu autochtone. En outre, nous analysons l’approche privilégiée par la Faculté des études autochtones de l’Université de l’Albe…
Le providentialisme d'hier à aujourd'hui: La construction idéologique ultramontaine de l’identité canadienne-française dans le développement de l’Armée de Marie
The Army of Mary is a Quebec-based, conservative Roman Catholic organization that centres its religious worldview on pious devotions to the Virgin Mary, Catholic tradition and the infallibility of the Pope. In 2007, the Army of Mary was excommunicated for the heterodox doctrine of its foundress, Marie-Paule Giguère, who claims to be the incarnation of the Virgin Mary. This paper outlines how Giguère and the Army of Mary negotiate the complexities…
