Indigenous-Settler Relations Beyond Recognition

20 October 2021

Sarah Maddison and Sana Nakata's call is for scholarship able to traverse ‘the interface between Indigenous nations and the settler state’. They focus on ‘relationality’. Relationality, of course, must be premised on recognition, and 'recognition' has indeed been a topic of interest in discussions concerning indigenous-settler relations under settler colonialism. My intervention focuses on a contextual approach to recognition.
