Abstract:

In recent years, a growing number of academic institutions have been more proactive about “decolonizing” and “indigenizing” the academy in the inter est of being more inclusive of Indigenous knowledges and topics. Such shifts in stated institutional priorities or raised consciousness among settler scholars have not corresponded, however, to significant changes in the material conditions in which First Nations people live; in fact, we are in some cases witnessing an intensification of state and settler violence against First Nations’ efforts to uphold treaty rights, many first negotiated in the eighteenth century, and to protect sovereign lands. More radical change than superficial acknowledgments and openness to new epistemologies is needed if academia is to contribute meaningfully to Indigenous survivance.

摘要：

近年来，越来越多的学术机构更加积极地致力于“非殖民化”和“本土化”该学院，以期更多地纳入土著知识和主题。但是，既定的机构优先事项的这种转移或定居学者之间意识的提高与原住民生活的物质条件的重大变化并不相符。实际上，在某些情况下，我们目睹了针对第一民族维护条约权利的努力在国家和定居者中的暴​​力加剧，许多努力是在18世纪首次谈判并保护主权土地的。如果学术界要对土著人的生存做出有意义的贡献，就需要比表面上的承认更大的变革和对新认识论的开放性。
