This presentation will explore the theme of treaty relations that animates Dr. Sarah Marie Wiebe\u2019s recently published book with UBC Press (2023):\u00a0Life against States of Emergency: Revitalizing Treaty Relations from Attawapiskat<\/em>.\u00a0It revisits the emergence of the Idle No More movement, highlighting Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence’s ceremonial fast of 2012\u201313.\u00a0At the core of the book lies the question that Chief Spence posed to the Canadian public, which has significant political implications for researchers and members of the civil service: What does it mean to be in a treaty relationship today? Through extensive community-engaged research with members of the Attawapiskat Nation and drawing from disciplines such as critical discourse analysis, ecofeminist and Indigenous studies, as well as art, activism, and mixed media storytelling, this presentation will elaborate how the book advances a transformative approach to treaty relationships, grounded in the lived-experiences, voices and perspectives of Indigenous artists and community leaders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
