Global Networks of Indigeneity

Global networks of Indigeneity assembles collective visions of Indigenous futures, contemplations of the potential of digital technologies, and considerations of Indigenous intimacies, relationalities and manners in which we locate ourselves in an increasingly global and connected world. Global Indigeneity is a term that characterises a shared recognition of sovereignty among Indigenous peoples. This edited volume brings together a range of Indigenous perspectives, uniting a global network of writers, thinkers and scholars to discuss connected Indigenous futures. This kind of transnational solidarity results in collective activism and envisioning, or a joint investment in futures free of the tyrannies imposed by settler-colonialism. We recognise each other's resilience and ongoing connections to place through ancestry. This edited volume proposes that Indigenous networks of relationality are growing due to an avid uptake of digital technologies and social media. These global networks of Indigeneity do not undermine local identities and relationships - they fortify them. Relationships and connections, strengthened by global networks and digital technologies, enable us to respond en masse to the different but comparative colonial systems that harm Indigenous peoples all over the world. Together, we present possibilities and the practicalities required to bring them to fruition.
