Moving Toward Balance and Harmony: Indigenous Relationalism and Cycles of Transformation
摘要
This chapter engages in peacebuilding in the time of the apocalypse, and in particular on the aspect of Death and environmental “apocalypse” through storied dialogue. Sharing stories of our own standpoints and experiences, learnings, and approaches is a form of two-eyed seeing that brings into conversation both Indigenous knowledges and Western knowledges. Through our stories and sharings, we discuss the concepts of Indigenous relationalism and cycles of transformation that are shaped by the ways in which humans engage with what is happening with them in the natural world and how the (re-)centering of Indigenous knowledges in peacebuilding praxis can move us toward balance and harmony and away from destruction.
