A Talk with Brian Noble, Associate Professor in Dalhousie's Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology, entitled "Kuleana and the Crises of our Ecological Moment -- Proposing a Living-Together Praxis of Treaty Ecologies & Relational Sovereignties." Kānaka people – as with most land-connected Indigenous peoples of the world – are beset by entwined, recalcitrant actions of settler colonialism and capitalist exploitation - the refusal or entailment of Indigenous peoples land-relation sovereignties, and the inherent incapacity of settler colonialism to halt the earth-destructive forces on which settler colonialism is constituted. In the course of my presentation, I will trace a set of decolonial collaborative research practices from more than two decades of action research with, and in support of, Indigenous land rights and land-sourced, Indigenous knowledge activists. Drawing on reciprocal collaborative engagements with Piikani Blackfoot, Secwepemc, and Mi'kmaq knowledge holders, the paper elaborates a growing diversity in emergent praxes of Treaty Ecologies.
