"Indigeneity, Conceptualism, and the Borders of DH" by Jordan Abel

National identifications can be an indicator of which community/ies we are accountable to. But do not always account for plurality of indigenous existence. During Vancouver's year of reconciliation event, was one of several poets commissioned to write a poem for the event; work the poets engaged was meant to honor Chief Robert Joseph, who challenged his indigenous identity due to pronunciation. Does that mean he's less Niskaa(Sp?)?

So many questions about how we define indigeneity. Accountable to intergenerational survivors of residental schools, dispossessed indigenous peoples who cant return to their peoples, urban indigeneity. Colonialism has had and continues to have serious impact, some of that legacy has been discussed, some of that legacy has been silenced.
