Centering Anishinaabeg and Ininiw ways of learning from, understanding, and sharing history, this article explores the oral history journeys of Lorraine Sutherland and Katrina Srigley on Nbisiing Anishinaabeg and Mushkegowuk territory in Ontario, Canada. The authors argue for the importance of a decolonized approach to feminist oral history, an approach which centers the histories of women and other marginalized voices in ways that acknowledge and mobilize Indigenous ways of understanding, documenting, and sharing stories of the past. The authors build this argument through stories, in the Anishinaabeg and Ininiw way; they offer a framework for drawing meaningfully on Anishinaabeg, Ininiw, and Western forms of feminist oral history.
