This essay explores the different sets of resonances that might be possible by interweaving readings of texts by Wayde Compton, Tekahionwake (Pauline Johnson), and Lee Maracle. Read alongside Tekahionwake’s “The Lost Island” and Maracle’s “Goodbye Snauq,” the stories in Compton’s The Outer Harbour illuminate possible directions for reconfiguring Indigenous and diasporic relations on the unceded Coast Salish territories that we call Vancouver. This critical praxis constitutes an alternate confluence, a decolonizing engagement where my analysis contextualizes Compton’s stories in terms of Indigenous and diasporic literary solidarities. As Compton’s stories suggest, Indigenous, diasporic, and non-human lives are already inextricably entangled. In The Outer Harbour, Compton moves beyond the question of whether diasporic subjects should be here to question their responsibilities now that they inhabit this space. In other words, this essay asks how kinship functions in the already fractured, corrupted, colonized contact zone.
