Abstract
It has become clear to me that how we live, how we organize, how we engage in the world—the process—not only frames the outcome, it is the transformation…How molds and then gives birth to the present. The how changes us…. Engaging in deep and reciprocal Indigeneity is a transformative act because it fundamentally changes modes of production of our lives. It changes the relationships that house our bodies and our thinking... Engagement changes us because it constructs a different world within which we live. We live fused to the land in a vital way. If we want to create a different future, we need to live a different present, so that present can… create different futurities. If we want to live in a different present, we have to center Indigeneity and allow it to change us.
