Nuna pigitjangittavut, nunattinut pigijauvugut / La terre ne nous appartient pas. Nous appartenons à la terre. / The land does not belong to us. We belong to the land.
A Virtual Gathering of the Indigenous Literary Studies Association
Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences
June 1-3, 2021
Hosted online at the University of Alberta, Treaty 6/Métis Nation Region 4
In a time when the majority of our interactions are happening in virtual spaces, ILSA seeks via its 2021 gathering to remember, affirm, and critically consider our embeddedness in particular landscapes, in diverse Indigenous territories, on land that--as Taqralik Partridge reminds us--“does not belong to us.” Instead, she asserts, “nunattinut pigijauvugut”:“We belong to the land.”
