“…To return to Nayak's criticism of an overly celebratory account of convivial multiculture, in a settler colonial context the desire for a growing sense of ease and familiarity with indigeneity among settlers has come under criticism for its association with a desire for redemption and “settler moves to innocence” (Tuck & Yang, , p. 1; see also: Hiller, ; Jones, ). Moreover, affectively at ease relations across difference might be considered in relation to the argument by de Leeuw, Greenwood and Lindsay that ‘[i]t is exactly at the moment when we, especially those of us who are settler colonists, feel good about having reached a place of comfort and stabilization about unsettling colonialism that we should be feeling most troubled’ (, p. 391).…”

Expressions of concern about the national future, or the surfacing of history through postcolonial melancholia and nostalgia for a lost Golden Age, illustrate how temporality and tense have been absorbed into discourses, affective attachments and practices of cultural recognition and national belonging. First, this paper aims to develop the discussion of urban multiculture in human geography in an original direction through a theoretically-driven argument for the significance of social divisions of tense. It contributes new knowledge about the availability of this discursive field when the issue of cultural recognition arises. Second, through considering the relational dynamics between settler, Indigenous and exogenous peoples together, the paper ties together debate on migration and ethnicity with indigeneity and colonialism. Third, the paper emphasises the importance of careful attention to local histories, contexts and oppressions when researching conviviality and multiculture in a settler colonial context. The analysis draws on 12 months of qualitative research with first-generation British migrants in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand to examine several illustrative encounters of British migrants with Māori, the Indigenous peoples, and exogenous alterity, a term used to refer to migrants and racialised citizens deemed "foreign."

“…This preserves their sovereign right and power to decide who belongs to them, without external interference. [70] We adopted this definition as it is inclusive of Indigenous peoples who are situated in countries in the Global North and Global South, as well as those in post-colonial (such as Kenya and Fiji) and settler colonial societies (including Australia and Canada) [71][72][73][74].…”

“…Indigenous peoples' collective right to self-determination is an important cross-cutting theme across innumerable academic study fields (including environmental management and law), as are Indigenous peoples' activism and actions to resist colonisation [73][74][75][76][77][78]. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) outlines that the "Indigenous peoples have the right to self-determination.…”

Indigenous Environmental Justice within Marine Ecosystems: A Systematic Review of the Literature on Indigenous Peoples’ Involvement in Marine Governance and Management

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We develop and apply a systematic review methodology to identify and understand how the peer-reviewed literature characterises Indigenous peoples’ involvement in marine governance and management approaches in terms of equity and justice worldwide. We reviewed the peer-reviewed English-language research articles between January 2015 and September 2020 for examples of Indigenous peoples’ involvement in marine governance and management using the analytical lens of environmental justice. The majority of research studies highlighted that Indigenous peoples experienced some form of environmental injustice linked to existing marine governance and management, most notably in the context of inequitable decision-making procedures surrounding the establishment and operation of marine protected areas. However, there are significant gaps in the current literature, including a notable absence of studies exploring Indigenous women and other gender minorities’ involvement in marine planning and management and the limited number of studies about Indigenous peoples living throughout Asia, the Arctic, Russia, and Africa. More studies are needed to explore collaborative and intersectional approaches, including co-governance and co-management and ecosystem-based management, and critically evaluate what constitutes inclusive, equitable, and just marine governance and management processes, practices, and outcomes for different Indigenous peoples occupying diverse social–ecological systems.

“…A part of white and settler privilege is the tendency and freedom to be oblivious to our own racial identity and the insidious nature of racism and colonialism (hooks, 1981;Helms 1993;Regan 2012;Hiller 2017). A consistent piece of guidance, provided by racialized academics and activists alike, is the need for awareness of not only racism but also whiteness-a mirror held up to our whiteness and our settler identity.…”

The Possibilities of Transforming Settler Consciousness: Community Spaces and White Settler Responsibility

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In Settler Colonial Theory, there is a growing body of work that looks at the ways settler colonization is being challenged. The understanding of how settlers are engaging with these potential transformations remains unclear. I build on Davis et. al's (2017) idea of "transforming settler consciousness" to consider what conditions, spaces, and practices are facilitating white settlers to challenge settler coloniality. Working with five white settlers in community groups, I use a narrative inquiry methodology to ask what about these initiatives did, or did not, catalyze transformed settler consciousness? Through a political ontology framework, the stories shared reveal the paradoxes, challenges and complexities about what facilitates a politics of recognition (Coulthard 2014) and what facilitates spaces of ontological negotiation. While the former does not demand a transformation in settler consciousness, the later does and with that transformation, settlers have the potential to contribute to a radical transformation of settler coloniality. I would first like to thank all of the activist, organizers and frontline communities that spend their lives fighting for justice and a better world for everyone. I want to express my gratitude for the five people who are committed to this work and shared their stories with me-it takes a lot of love, courage and vulnerability and I am so very thankful. During times of global ecological, political and social strife, it is your resistance, art, action and dreams are that give me hope. I want to thank all my family and friends who supported me through this process. I leaned on you all and am always grateful for the love you so readily gave. I want to offer a heartfelt thank-you to my supervisor, Professor Cristina Rojas. I have learned so much from you and your endless patience and willingness to hear all my ideas was truly a gift. Thank you Donna Coghill, I really couldn't have made it to the end of this project without you. Thank you to my readers, your comments and insights made this project infinitely better. And finally, Sam. I will never have enough words to thank you. I am forever grateful for you always having the time to listen to my scattered thoughts, always making sure there was chocolate around, for holding our home and my bike together, and for so graciously loving me through all the chaos.
