This course conducts an interdisciplinary examination of Indigenous environmental ethics through the lens of expressive arts, with an emphasis on stories, relationships, knowledges, and changing environments, landscapes, or territories. A close examination of a meaningful range of elements (ethics and storied relationships, Indigenous land and women, poetry and activism, urban dwelling and poetics of decolonization, Indigenous futurism and apocalyptic landscapes) is conducted to develop a contemporary understanding of the environmental ethics at work in various sites of Indigenous expression.
