As an expression of the “right to go anywhere,” walking or hiking in settler states, particularly on recreational infrastructures such as the Trans Canada Trail, can be understood to support a form of white settler emplacement that is contingent on Indigenous displacement. These infrastructures and activities also contribute to assumptions of settler-state sovereignty over Indigenous lands common to the contemporary settler colonial project. In this article, I consider these conditions alongside arts-based methodologies I have developed from a critical white settler perspective to reveal, challenge, and subvert them. A discussion of my video, l i s t e n, demonstrates how one such methodology, unsettling depremacy, critically contends with specific interactions with place. I conclude by proposing walking unsettling depremacy as methodology in development that can be deployed to interfere with the ways white settler walking and its recreational infrastructures assert colonial claim.

作为“去任何地方的权利”的一种表达，在定居者州步行或徒步旅行，特别是在跨加拿大小径等娱乐基础设施上，可以理解为支持一种形式的白人定居者安置，这种安置形式取决于原住民流离失所情况。这些基础设施和活动也有助于假设定居者-国家对当代定居者殖民项目共有的土著土地拥有主权。在本文中，我将这些条件与我从批判性白人定居者的角度开发的基于艺术的方法论一起考虑，以揭示、挑战和颠覆它们。讨论我的视频，听，展示了一种这样的方法，令人不安的贬低，如何批判性地与地方的特定互动相抗衡。最后，我提出步行令人不安的贬低作为发展中的方法论，可以用来干扰白人定居者步行及其娱乐基础设施主张殖民要求的方式。
