Anthropocene Allyships: Lessons from Land and Forest Defenders on Pacheedaht Territory :: Wed, February 21, 2024. 8:30-10:30am :: ONLINE ZOOM TALK :: Hosted by: Race & Postcolonial Geographies Series, Political Worlds Research Cluster Oxford School of Geography & the Environment.

Join two of Ada'istx/Fairy Creek Blockades central figures in discussing the dynamics of Indigenous leadership and settler “Allyships” during the Blockade. How does Fairy Creek stretch our understandings of settler “solidarity” in environmental movements, and highlight (im)possibilities of/for decolonization?

The talk will begin with a 30-minute discussion of Aysha's undergraduate research project, "Once Upon a Time in Fairy Creek: Resilience and Ruination in the Anthropocene," including relevant background on the Fairy Creek Blockade. We will then be joined (virtually) by Elder Bill and Rainbow Eyes for a 30-minute moderated conversation, followed by 30-minutes of open Q&A. For interested in-person attendees, we will leave the remaining time to reflect on, and personalize, the discussion.
