SUMMARY:Self-Indigenization\, Whiteness and Genocide with Kim TallBear
DESCRIPTION:Join Kim TallBear\, PhD in person or online for this Indigenous Speaker Series presentation. Self-indigenization\, also sometimes referred to as “pretendianism\,” is often described as a problem of “Indigenous identity.” In this talk\, Kim TallBear\, PhD\, rejects that characterization. Instead\, she turns her gaze back onto settler-colonial society. What is their problem? Why do so many settler-state citizens insist on self-identifying as Indigenous without Indigenous nation recognition of their claims? Kim TallBear draws on Critical Indigenous Studies\, anthropology of whiteness and critical race theory to analyze self-indigenization as a manifestation of whiteness and a late-colonial technique of Indigenous genocide. \nKim TallBear\, PhD (she/her) is a citizen of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate\, a Dakota nation in present-day South Dakota. She is professor and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples\, Technoscience\, and Society in the Faculty of Native Studies\, University of Alberta. She is the author of Native American DNA: Tribal Belonging and the False Promise of Genetic Science. Kim TallBear is the co-founder of the Summer internship for INdigenous peoples in Genomics (SING) Canada. She has advised the President of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) on issues related to genomics and Indigenous peoples. She has also advised museums on exhibits related to race and science. In addition to studying genome science disruptions to Indigenous governance and to Indigenous self-definitions\, Kim TallBear studies colonial disruptions to Indigenous sexual relations. She is a regular panelist on the weekly Indigenous current affairs podcast\, Media Indigena. She is also a regular media commentator in outlets such as CBC\, CNN\, The Washington Post\, The New Yorker\, the LA Times\, APTN\, and the BBC on topics pertaining to Indigenous peoples\, science\, and technology; on the politics of self-indigenization; and on Indigenous sexualities. She is a former Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation (PETF) Fellow (2018-2021). She is a board member of the Oceti Sakowin Writers’ Society\, a tribal writers’ society for Dakota\, Lakota\, and Nakota writers. You can also follow her monthly posts on her Substack newsletter\, Unsettle: Indigenous affairs\, cultural politics & (de)colonization.

SUMMARY:Soverignty First - Tackling The White Possessive in an era of Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Euro-Western academia\, politics\, governance\, science\, art\, literature\, and law claim to be uplifting and celebrating Indigenous peoples and ideas more than ever\, yet some reconciliatory and recognition-based frameworks still undermine Indigenous sovereignty and global Indigenous solidarities. This event will unpack this harmful contradiction\, which Goenpul scholar Aileen Moreton-Robinson calls the ‘possessive logics of patriarchal white sovereignty’. \nDrawing on their work\, five dynamic panelists will explore ways to disrupt\, dismantle\, and transform the pervasive reach of this ‘white possessive’ as it cloaks itself in new robes to maintain its control over Indigenous lands\, relations\, and existence. \nPanelists Include: \nJennifer Brown – University of Alaska Southeast\nJennifer Brown is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Alaska Native Studies at the University of Alaska-Southeast in Ketchikan\, Alaska\, and is pursuing her Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania. In the past\, she worked as a tribal health researcher for Southcentral Foundation in Anchorage\, Alaska. She is a member of the Kaigani Haida and the Ketchikan Indian community in Ketchikan\, Alaska. Her research draws on science and technology studies (STS)\, environmental studies\, and indigenous critical theory to examine human responses to climate change in Southeast Alaska. \nCandis Callison – The University of British Columbia\nCandis Callison is the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous journalism\, media\, and public discourse and an Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia\, jointly appointed in the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs and the Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies. She is the author of How Climate Change Comes to Matter: The Communal Life of Facts  (Duke U Press\, 2014) and the co-author of Reckoning: Journalism’s Limits and Possibilities  (Oxford U Press\, 2020). Candis is currently working on a long-term research project about the role of journalism and media in Arctic and northern regions. She is a member of the Tahltan Nation and a regular contributor to the podcast\, Media Indigena. \nNoah Collins – Princeton University\nNoah Collins (White Mountain Apache Tribe/Cherokee Nation) is a graduate student in Anthropology at Princeton University. His research interests broadly concern Indigenous health disparities. He has worked extensively in genomics\, bioethics\, and community based participatory research in multiple domestic and international Indigenous peoples groups. His most recent research has been to identify globally rare gene variants for use in creating therapeutics to treat areas of unmet medical need. Noah’s research Indigenizes western processes to empower Indigenous people to establish systems that uphold their individual belief systems. At Princeton\, Noah wants to explore the natures of engagement and sovereignty in global Indigenous communities beginning their interactions with biomedical research \nKim TallBear – University of Alaska\nKim TallBear  (Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate) is Professor and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples\, Technoscience\, and Society\, Faculty of Native Studies\, University of Alberta. She is the author of Native American DNA: Tribal Belonging and the False Promise of Genetic Science. In addition to studying genome science disruptions to Indigenous self-definitions\, Dr. TallBear studies colonial disruptions to Indigenous sexual relations. She is a regular panelist on the Media Indigena  podcast. She is also a regular media commentator on topics including Indigenous peoples\, science\, and technology; and Indigenous sexualities. You can also follow her Substack newsletter\, Unsettle: Indigenous affairs\, cultural politics & (de)colonization. \nOlga Ulturgasheva – The University of Manchester\nOlga Ulturgasheva is an Associate Professor/Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology at the University of Manchester\, UK.

Her latest book is a co-edited volume Risky Futures: Climate\, Geopolitics and Local Realities in the Uncertain Circumpolar North  (Berghahn Book 2022) focusing on the latest implications of climate change for our understanding of environmental risk\, human-non-human adaptations\, co-production of knowledge and collaboration. Currently\, she serves as a Principal Investigator of a large international\, collaborative research project funded the European Research Council (ERC). \nSpeakers Include: \nWenona Hall – Chair of the Indigenous Studies Department\, SFU\nWenona Hall is a member of the Sq’ewqéyl First Nation and is an Associate Professor and the Chair of the Indigenous Studies Department at Simon Fraser University. Dr. Hall is a mother to three young adults Jade\, Justice and Alexis\, and is the oldest grand-daughter of Gordon and Blossom Hall.

SUMMARY:Settler Love Is Breaking My Heart: Sex\, Kin\, and Country
DESCRIPTION:Settler sexuality\, family\, and “love” are key to sustaining settler property relations in the US and Canada. In this in-process book chapter (a shorter version was previously published in a 2024 edited volume)\, I draw on the work of historians\, anthropologists\, and science and technology studies (STS) scholars who have investigated the history of state- sanctioned marriage and monogamy in the US\, Hawai’i\, Canada\, and Europe. I also build on popular and academic polyamory literatures\, Native American and Indigenous Studies and critical race theory. In addition\, (auto)ethnographic examination of eco-erotic\, polyamorous\, and other more-than-monogamous relating inform alternative concepts of anticolonial relating after the unsettling of settler sex and family. Finally\, I center the role of country—both music and place—to think through and beyond unsustainable settler- colonial practices of making relations with human loves and more-than-human loves. Decolonization is more sustainable with music. \nUC Santa Cruz\nHumanities 1\, Room 210

SUMMARY:Holding Our Ground: Voices and Strategies Against Self-Indigenization
DESCRIPTION:A Hybrid Symposium \nWed\, Mar 18 – Thu\, Mar 19\, 2026 | All day \nThis two-day\, hybrid symposium will convene leading experts\, community members\, and “first responders” to the global issue of self-Indigenization\, particularly in the form of “Indigenous ethnic fraud\,” or “pretendianism\,” as it is referred to in North America. \nThe symposium will be held in Minneapolis\, on the traditional homelands of the Dakota people\, who were imprisoned and eventually exiled in 1863 to aid settler appropriation of “Minnesota\,” a word also taken from the Dakota. On top of seizing land\, US citizens have for centuries “played Indian” via sports mascots and appropriating Native nation names and iconography in scouting and in industries including the military. In the twenty-first century\, we see ballooning numbers of US citizens make mythological claims to belong to Native lineages and nations. Some capitalize on those claims to appropriate Indigenous resources and opportunities\, and to seize governance of institutions. We see an obviously violent example of self-Indigenization in the Department of “Homeland Security” whose agents seize governance of these lands\, terrorize\, imprison\, and threaten to exile. As multiple forms of self-Indigenization converge\, not all are grasped as violent\, yet they combine to further colonial extraction. \nExtractive self-Indigenization\, including Indigenous ethnic fraud\, not only targets American Indians\, but also First Nations\, Métis\, and Inuit in Canada; and global Indigenous communities in Aotearoa/New Zealand\, Australia\, Mexico\, and elsewhere. This symposium will bring participants together to engage in critical discussions\, learn from one another\, and discuss actionable strategies to disrupt this global problem.
