This study challenges dominant, academic conceptualization of resilience in light of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe's (LEKT) experiences of ecosystem restoration. Resilience has gained traction in social science as a framework for a community's response to environmental, social, and political disturbances, the contours of which are not well understood in Indigenous contexts. Interviews with LEKT members on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State reveal that colonial ecological violence associated with the damming of the Elwha River in the early half of the 20th century continues to shape contemporary possibilities for Klallam resurgence, sovereignty, and self-determination. Cultural resurgence has been enhanced; but unanticipated burdens and heightened feelings of powerlessness and deprivation remain. Resilience-based approaches to ecosystem restoration support aspects of Indigenous survival and collective continuance, but they are unlikely to support significant revitalization and self-determined development unless the structural basis of ecological violence and Indigenous futurisms of resurgence, self-determination, and sovereignty are addressed.

令人不安的复原力：殖民生态暴力、土著未来主义和埃尔瓦河的恢复*

根据下埃尔瓦克拉拉姆部落 (LEKT) 的生态系统恢复经验，这项研究挑战了占主导地位的学术复原力概念。复原力作为社区应对环境、社会和政治动荡的框架在社会科学中获得了广泛关注，而在原住民背景下，这些动荡的轮廓并没有得到很好的理解。在华盛顿州奥林匹克半岛对 LEKT 成员的采访显示，与 20 世纪上半叶埃尔瓦河筑坝相关的殖民生态暴力继续塑造克拉拉姆复兴、主权和自决的当代可能性。文化复兴得到加强；但意料之外的负担和无能为力和被剥夺的强烈感觉依然存在。
