| dc.description.abstract | Within the greater Canadian cultural context, Indigenous communities have been engaged in a constant effort to reclaim, preserve, and foster their diasporic “pan-Indian” community against the genocidal and assimilationist projects of the settler colonial state. Through imperial logics of disenfranchisement and discourses of violence, Indigenous women have been recurring targets for their held cultural, communal and spiritual power. By reducing and silencing that authority, Canadian white nationalism has asserted its governmental dominion and jurisprudence over all Indigenous wellbeing—with Indigenous women intersectionally marginalized due to white supremacy and patriarchal supremacy. | |
