By Rachelle “Māēyawekēsekōkiw” Besaw

PhD Candidate, Sociocultural Anthropology, Arizona State University

In this lecture, the speaker will discuss the marginal space she now inhabits as a linguistic anthropologist, indebted to the oftentimes cruel and violent history of anthropological and linguistic research inflicted upon Indigenous Nations, and her own Tribe, in the name of Science. She will discuss her own journey through an academic system built on the oppression and subjugation of her people, and how she has had to rely upon extractive and exploitative research on her path to reclaiming her Indigeneity.

By Dr. Zoe Todd

Associate Professor; Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Governance and Freshwater Fish Futures

Drawing on various scholars, Dr Zoe Todd critiques the push to 'braid' Indigenous and settler paradigms in conservation. As a Red River Métis scholar, Dr Todd advocates for the radical refusal of systems based on white possession and individualism, urging western institutions to embrace Indigenous practices and global anti-imperialist solidarities.
