• Sommario/riassunto: This book explores the concept of Indigenous environmental repossession, emphasizing the practices and philosophies that underpin Indigenous efforts to reclaim and protect their lands. It delves into the relational ontologies, such as kincentric ecology and kinship, that inform Indigenous perspectives on land and environment. The authors discuss various forms of activism, including direct actions like occupations and blockades, as well as cultural productions that assert Indigenous sovereignty and identity. The book highlights specific case studies, such as the resistance against the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea, and the gathering practices of the Biigtigong Nishnaabeg, illustrating the diverse strategies Indigenous communities use to affirm their rights and connection to their ancestral lands. Intended for scholars, activists, and those interested in Indigenous rights and environmental justice, the book provides insights into the multifaceted nature of environmental repossession as both a local and global phenomenon.
