摘要

This chapter provides a different way to look at peace and conflict understandings and approaches. Like “a prism to radically rethink contemporary peace and conflict, taking the Judeo-Christian eschatology of the Whore of Babylon to subvert the usual expectations such as who are the righteous and who are the “Damned” as referenced at the outset of this book.” What I share in this chapter is imbued with the Indigenous Ways of Knowing, Being and Doing from the ways I have been taught from Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers from around the world. It is grounded in my Métis ancestral roots that run deep into the Red River area and the Métis Settlement of Roostertown, Manitoba, and my lived experiences as an urban Métis woman living in the northern part of Turtle Island. My experiences and understandings is centered on this and may have varying interpretations globally. Indigenous ways of Knowing, Being and Doing are critical to transforming peace and conflict understandings and approaches. They are distinct from many Western approaches and center on inter-connected webs of existence, a re-centering in the inextricable links between all beings and peace leaders as a component of the greater whole (Parker Higgins, Parker Higgins, Schellhammer (ed), Evolution of peace leadership and practical implications, IGI Global, 2022, p. 197).
