The Innu worldview is founded on a relational epistemology where all elements – fauna, flora, the mineral world and the spirits – possess inherent agency. This paper analyzes the oeuvre of two contemporary Innu poets, Joséphine Bacon and Rita Mestokosho, to demonstrate how they reclaim this non-anthropocentric framework. We argue that their poetry disrupts colonial binaries, treating animals as egalitarian subjects, and offers a vital, decolonial model for navigating the contemporary ecological crisis through restored interspecies relationality.

摘要

The Innu worldview is founded on a relational epistemology where all elements – fauna, flora, the mineral world and the spirits – possess inherent agency. This paper analyzes the oeuvre of two contemporary Innu poets, Joséphine Bacon and Rita Mestokosho, to demonstrate how they reclaim this non-anthropocentric framework. We argue that their poetry disrupts colonial binaries, treating animals as egalitarian subjects, and offers a vital, decolonial model for navigating the contemporary ecological crisis through restored interspecies relationality.
