Event Description
The conference seeks to explore the meanings, significance, and iterations of sovereignty in North America. 'Technology’ here speaks to the innovative and creative nature of Indigenous self-determination, as well as sovereignty’s historical work as a tool - a language, practice, and posture of resistance. What did and does Indigenous sovereignty look like under conditions of constraint? Where does the concept of sovereignty sit in Indigenous history; what are its limitations and advantages? In bringing together scholars working across time periods and geographies, our conference will facilitate vital conversations about continuity and change in Indigenous sovereignty - from the ambiguous, overlapping spaces of imperial New Spain to the Canadian prairies.
