Drawing from my lived experiences as an Indigenous linguist, this article exposes and responds to epistemological racism (Kubota 2020) in the discipline of Linguistic Anthropology, which I argue institutionalizes and reproduces white supremacy. I extend Rosa and Flores’s (2017) raciolinguistic perspective, which examines the co-naturalization of race and language, to the co-naturalization of race and language scholars. Through a critical analysis of the hegemony of the “white linguistic anthropologist,” I demonstrate how BIPOC linguistic anthropologists are expected to assimilate to a white normative culture of producing, disseminating, and evaluating anthropological knowledge. Employing ideas from Indigenous research methodologies such as the notion of relational accountability and related “R’s” such as respect, responsibility, reciprocity, and rights; the framework of Radical Indigenism (Garroutte 2003), which argues for research praxis based on Indigenous philosophies of knowledge; and Felt Theory (Million 2009), which asserts the validity of knowledge emerging from experiences that are felt; I offer alternatives that are grounded in Indigenous research principles and protocols. I conclude by outlining a reimagined discipline, a linguistic anthropology built from Indigenous epistemologies and norms of relational knowledge production, and discuss the anti-racist praxis that such a transformation could facilitate.

走向反种族主义语言人类学：对白人至上的本土反应

根据我作为土著语言学家的生活经历，本文揭露并回应了语言人类学学科中的认识论种族主义（Kubota 2020），我认为该学科将白人至上制度化并复制。我将 Rosa 和 Flores (2017) 的种族语言学观点扩展到种族和语言学者的共同自然化，该观点考察了种族和语言的共同归化。通过对“白人语言人类学家”霸权的批判性分析，我展示了 BIPOC 语言人类学家如何被期望融入生产、传播和评估人类学知识的白人规范文化。采用来自土著研究方法的思想，例如关系问责制的概念和相关的“R”，例如尊重、责任、互惠、和权利；激进本土主义的框架（Garroutte 2003），它主张基于本土知识哲学的研究实践；和感觉理论（Million 2009），它断言从所感受到的经验中产生的知识的有效性；我提供基于土著研究原则和协议的替代方案。最后，我概述了一个重新构想的学科，一种建立在土著认识论和关系知识生产规范之上的语言人类学，并讨论了这种转变可以促进的反种族主义实践。我提供基于土著研究原则和协议的替代方案。最后，我概述了一个重新构想的学科，一种建立在土著认识论和关系知识生产规范之上的语言人类学，并讨论了这种转变可以促进的反种族主义实践。我提供基于土著研究原则和协议的替代方案。最后，我概述了一个重新构想的学科，一种建立在土著认识论和关系知识生产规范之上的语言人类学，并讨论了这种转变可以促进的反种族主义实践。
