Ice animates the look and feel of climate change. It is melting faster than ever before, causing social upheaval among northern coastal communities and disrupting a more southern, temperate world as sea levels rise.

Summary:
Ice animates the look and feel of climate change. It is melting faster than ever before, causing social upheaval among northern coastal communities and disrupting a more southern, temperate world as sea levels rise. Economic, academic, and activist stakeholders are increasingly focused on the unsettling potential of ice as they plan for a future shaped by rapid transformation. Yet, in "Ice geographies," Jen Rose Smith demonstrates that ice has always been at the center of making sense of the world. Ice as homeland is often at the heart of Arctic and sub-Arctic ontologies, cosmologies, and Native politics. Reflections on ice have also long been a constitutive element of Western political thought, but it often privileges a pristine or empty "nature" stripped of power relations. Smith centers ice to study race and indigeneity by investigating ice relations as sites and sources of analysis that are bound up with colonial and racial formations as well as ice geographies beyond those formations. Smith asks, How is ice a racialized geography and imaginary, and how does it also exceed those frameworks?

Summary:
With more than fifty contributors, ''Indigenous critical reflections on traditional ecological knowledge'' offers important perspectives by Indigenous Peoples on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Indigenous value systems. The book aims to educate and inspire readers about the importance of decolonizing how Indigenous Knowledges are considered and used outside of Native communities. By including the work of Indigenous storytellers, poets, and scholars from around the globe, editor Lara Jacobs and chapter authors effectively explore the Indigenous value systems-relationships, reciprocity, and responsibility-that are fundamental to Indigenous Knowledge systems and cultures. Indigenous languages and positionality statements are featured for each of the contributors to frame their cultural and geographical background and to allow each Indigenous voice to lead discussions and contribute critical discourse to the literature on Indigenous Knowledges and value systems. By creating space for each of these individual voices, this volume challenges colonial extraction norms and highlights the importance of decolonial methods in understanding and protecting Indigenous Knowledges.

Summary:
''Indigenous Currencies'' follows dynamic stories of currency as a meaning-making communication technology. Settler economies regard currency as their own invention, casting Indigenous systems of value, exchange, and data stewardship as incompatible with contemporary markets. In this book, Ashley Cordes refutes such claims and describes a long history of Indigenous innovation in currencies, including wampum, dentalium, beads, and, more recently, the cryptocurrency MazaCoin. By looking closely at how currencies developed over time through intercultural communication, Cordes argues that Indigenous currencies transcend the scope of economic value, revealing the cultural, social, and political context of what it means to exchange.

Summary:
Construit à partir d’entretiens donnés par Ailton Krenak sur une période de quarante ans, cet ouvrage raconte un chapitre essentiel de l’histoire du Brésil : celui du réveil politique des peuples autochtones à la fin des années 1970. Lui-même survivant d’un peuple massacré jusqu’à la limite de l’extinction par la colonisation avant de devenir un acteur de premier plan du mouvement, Ailton Krenak nous emporte, au fil de ces entretiens, dans cette incroyable expérience d’organisation des peuples autochtones pour défendre leurs droits, depuis la période de la dictature dans les années 1970, jusqu’à l’arrivée de Jair Bolsonaro au pouvoir, en passant par l’époque exaltante de la refondation démocratique du pays dans les années 1980. Ces témoignages livrent également une analyse fulgurante de l’histoire récente de la colonisation du Brésil et des modèles d’invasion de l’Amazonie au moment même où celle-ci faisait irruption sur la scène internationale comme un enjeu écologique planétaire. En cela, ce livre ne représente pas simplement un document historique remarquable, il est aussi une réflexion sur le monde occidental et un appel à penser de nouvelles alliances pour faire face au front de destruction qui menace toutes les formes de vie sur Terre.

Summary:
In a world where artificial intelligence has and increasingly important place in our daily lives, and more and more of our time is spent on screens, what does "Living as Nature" mean anymore? We wanted to answer this question in a two eyed seeing approach, a term coined by Mi’kmaw elder Albert Marshall referring to seeing from one eye with strengths of Indigenous ways of knowing, and from the other eye with the strengths of Western ways of knowing, and to use both of these eyes together to move forward. This can be seen through the pairing of Wendat values and the principles of the Montréal Declaration for a Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence. We offer a mirrored reflection on this topic, from the perspectives of a researcher in AI for biodiversity conservation (Mélisande) and an Indigenous landscape architect (Carling): How can AI researchers working on applications in biodiversity reconcile Western science with Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing of "Living as Nature?"

Summary:
Indigenous relations are often described in anthropological terms, or as expressions of timeless, unchanging kinship ties. In ''Speculative Relations'', Joseph M. Pierce challenges this view, considering the potential of these relations as a means of repairing the damages of history. Pierce approaches Indigenous art and culture not as objects of study, but through relations committed to reciprocity and care for human and more-than-human beings. Drawing on Cherokee thinking, Indigenous queer theory, literary and cultural studies, and art criticism, he illuminates pathways for understanding and resisting the ongoing damages of colonialism while pointing to future worlds and imaginaries that breathe life into Indigenous thought and practice. Analyzing a range of materials—from photography, literature, and sculpture to film and ethnography—Pierce reveals how speculation, as a form of situated knowledge production, can repair and reimagine the worlds that colonialism sought to destroy. In doing so, Pierce highlights how gestures, poetics, and embodiment can uphold tradition and harness the imaginative power of speculation to create pathways for living in good relations.

Summary:
Personnage fascinant et méconnu, Nukishio Kizô est un précurseur du militantisme autochtone. Figure intellectuelle de la lutte pour l'émancipation, il a montré que la situation délicate dans laquelle était plongé le peuple aïnou n'était due qu'aux contraintes de toutes sortes qui lui étaient imposées. Alors qu'il n'avait que 27 ans, il publie en 1934 le présent essai qui témoigne de la situation des Aïnous au sein de l'Empire japonais et des politiques assimilationnistes dont ils subissent les effets. Il appelle les siens à se ressaisir pour éviter la dépossession de leurs terres natales, la disparition de leur langue, de leur culture et de leurs droits. Il dénonce la discrimination à laquelle les Aïnous doivent faire face, inscrite dans les discours et les lois japonaises. Pour les lecteurs d'aujourd'hui, cet essai apparaît comme l'une des premières dénonciations écrites de l'état de fait colonial contre un peuple autochtone, rédigée et publiée par un Autochtone. Sous son ton rationnel et modéré, Nukishio Kizô livre ainsi un témoignage troublant, mais il lance aussi un appel à la survie et à la reconnaissance. Avec une présentation de Daniel Chartier, une introduction, une chronologie et des notes de Lucien-Laurent Clercq.

On estime que plus de 1 600 personnes ont ainsi été à titre posthume victimes de ce programme. La présente œuvre poétique témoigne de la douleur causée par le colonialisme dont ont été victimes les Autochtones, mais aussi des limites de l’ouverture du monde: aujourd’hui encore on retrouve à Sapporo un bâtiment lugubre où sont conservés, «retenus prisonniers», comme l’écrit Dobashi Yoshimi, les restes de son ancêtre Penriuk, grand chef aïnou.

Summary:
The Kanien’kéha language has been written since the 1600s, and these dictionary entries include citations from published, archival, and informal writings from the seventeenth century onwards. These citations are a legacy of the substantial documents of missionary scholars and several informal vocabulary lists written by Kanien’kéha speakers, among others. The introduction to the dictionary provides a description of the organization and orthography of the historical works so that they can be used in the future by those studying and learning the language. "A dictionary of Kanien’kéha (Mohawk) with connections to the past" allows scholars and students to learn the meaning, composition, and etymology of words in a language known for its particularly complex word structure. The organization of the entries, according to noun and verb roots, highlights the remarkable potential and adaptability of the language to express traditional concepts, as well as innovations that have resulted from contact with other customs and languages that have become part of the contemporary culture of the Kanien’kehá:ka.

Summary:
This volume offers a conversation between Indigenous Peoples of two regions in this time of political and environmental upheaval. Both regions are environmentally sensitive areas that have become hot spots in the debates circling around climate change and have long been contact zones between Indigenous Peoples and outsiders — zones of meeting and clashing, of contradictions and entanglement. Opening with an Epistolary Exchange between the editors,the book then widens to include essays by 12 Indigenous artists, curators, and knowledge-keepers about the integration of spirituality, ancestral respect, traditional knowledges, and political critique in artistic practice and more than 100 image reproductions and installation shots. The result is an extraordinary conversation about life, artistic practise, and geopolitical realities faced by Indigenous peoples in regions at risk.
