生活在土著主权中

在过去十年中，真相与和解委员会、失踪和被谋杀的土著妇女和女孩全国调查、不再闲散运动、反对管道开发的“苏韦特”维特斗争以及其他由土著人领导的争取土著主权和非殖民化的斗争突出了定居者加拿大人与土著人民之间的关系。越来越多的加拿大人开始意识到定居者殖民主义如何继续影响这些土地上的关系。随着这一认识的出现，许多定居者加拿大人现在提出了一个问题：我能做什么？
生活在土著主权中提升了土著学者、活动人士和知识维护者的智慧，他们直言不讳地向非土著人民提出了自己的要求。它还分享了13名加拿大白人定居者的经历，他们深入参与了与土著民族的团结工作。总之，这些故事为希望与土著人民、法律和土地建立良好关系的加拿大定居者提供了灵感和指导。卡尔森和罗认为，如果加拿大人真的想实现这一目标，他们将寻求重新定位自己的生活，走向“生活在土著主权中”——生活在一种意识中，即这些土地是土著土地，包含着自远古以来被土著人民理解和实践的关系、法律、协议、故事、义务和机会。
总的来说，这些故事将有助于移民加拿大人理解，如果我们要从根本上改变我们当前的关系，共同找到一条新的前进道路，我们必须进行什么样的转变。

Living in Indigenous Sovereignty
In the last decade, the relationship between settler Canadians and Indigenous Peoples has been highlighted by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, the Idle No More movement, the Wet’suwet’en struggle against pipeline development and other Indigenous-led struggles for Indigenous sovereignty and decolonization. Increasing numbers of Canadians are beginning to recognize how settler colonialism continues to shape relationships on these lands. With this recognition comes the question many settler Canadians are now asking, what can I do?
Living in Indigenous Sovereignty lifts up the wisdom of Indigenous scholars, activists and knowledge keepers who speak pointedly to what they are asking of non-Indigenous people. It also shares the experiences of thirteen white settler Canadians who are deeply engaged in solidarity work with Indigenous Peoples. Together, these stories offer inspiration and guidance for settler Canadians who wish to live honourably in relationship with Indigenous Peoples, laws and lands. If Canadians truly want to achieve this goal, Carlson and Rowe argue, they will pursue a reorientation of their lives toward “living in Indigenous sovereignty” ― living in an awareness that these are Indigenous lands, containing relationships, laws, protocols, stories, obligations and opportunities that have been understood and practised by Indigenous peoples since time immemorial.
Collectively, these stories will help settler Canadians understand what transformations we must undertake if we are to fundamentally shift our current relations and find a new way forward, together.
