Indigenous Resurgence
The world has seen in recent years what can only be described as an “Indigenous Resurgence” to which even governments are taking notice. There is a rise in popular culture regarding Indigenous peoples’ epistemologies, culture, languages, curation, and arts everywhere from New Zealand, the America’s, Africa, Australia, and other parts of the world. Historical fascinations with those systems have often been by and for the perspective of non-natives…
Reframing So-Called Primitive Accumulation for Settler Colonial Contexts
The question of land must be centered if anti-capitalist and anticolonial camaraderies are to be sustained between settler and Indigenous peoples. This essay suggests that enclosures of Indigenous homelands, or what might be called primitive accumulations in the Marxist tradition, are not always understood by settlers who are inclined to transpose European experiences onto Indigenous ones. Enclosures of Indigenous homelands cut people off not onl…
Indigenous Philosophies of Land and Their Importance for Anticolonial Camaraderie
This article argues that sustainable and robust Indigenous philosophies of land on Turtle Island predate colonial impact and are characterized by active regard for land as a relative, as a material or maternal provider, as a person, and as an origin of identity, ethics, and religion. These philosophies continue to inform political resistance to settler colonialism today of radical resurgence and decolonizing praxis. Conceptual and experiential li…
The infrastructures of White settler perception
Emergencies are an element of perception. Far from a private and personal affair, perception is social, structured by a process of "inculcation." Perception has a material-political infrastructure in the sense that it is underlain by cultural and economic conditions that refract the colonial, White supremacist, and heteropatriarchal inscriptions of "dominant" society into the quotidian understanding of events, crystalizing intentional modes in su…
Land, Water, Mathematics, and Relationships
Indigenous epistemologies view a person as a whole, interconnected to land, in relationship to others. Knowledge is subjective and collective. However, hegemonic western knowledge created dualism that are perpetuated through western schooling with detrimental effects on Indigenous knowledge systems and livelihood. The dualisms separate mind from body, body from nature, and spirit from matter which led to western schooling practices that support g…
Post-Humanist Pragmatism
This essay argues that classical pragmatism à la John Dewey is a philosophy on its way to post-humanism. Dewey's account of non-human animals is not a mere tangent, but a central axis for his concepts of communication and language. Despite a lifelong insistence on the exceptional qualities of humans, Dewey's more expansive accounts of language are adequate for a post-humanist perspective. For Dewey to fully come to terms with the implications of …
