Description
Indigenous-settler relations.

The research will be focusing on the possibility of meaningful and truthful reconciliation of a relationship that has been dominated by violence, disrespect and other forms of oppression. The research will also focus on developing an understanding of alternatives to state driven forms of coexistence and reconciliation. This paper will be a response to recent literature by Indigenous scholarship on how to shape the relationship between settlers and Indigenous peoples. This paper will conceptualize how it is necessary to build relationships of solidarity outside the state to have meaningful reconciliation. This paper will develop a concept of shared oppression and coalition building. This paper will be grounded in Anishinaabeg and Anarchist Philosophy.
