Life against states of emergency : revitalizing treaty relations from Attawapiskat / Sarah Marie Wiebe.

Wiebe, Sarah Marie, (author.).

Summary:

"For six weeks in 2012-13, Attawapiskat chief Theresa Spence undertook a high-profile ceremonial fast to advocate for improved Canadian-Indigenous relations. This volume responds to the central question she asked the Canadian public to consider: What does it mean to be in a treaty relationship today? This incisive research weaves together community-engaged research, Attawapiskat lived experiences, discourse analysis, ecofeminist and Indigenous studies scholarship, art, activism, and storytelling to advance a transformative, future-oriented approach to treaty relations. By centring community voices, it cultivates democratic dialogue about environmental justice." -- Provided by publisher
