The plural of Indigenous Futurisms[edit]

Hello!

It would be preferrable to change the title to "Indigenous Futurisms", since Grace Dillon, the one who first coined the term, even refers to it as "Indigenous Futrisms" and also states that there are multiple forms.

This is from an interview published on e-flux journal:

"GD: Indigenous Futurisms, in the plural, was a choice that I made after 2012. Until then I was calling it “Indigenous Futurism.” The choice reflects the richness of Indigenous communities globally. I based it on the process and legal struggles that led to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, with an s. It took about three decades of struggle to get that letter s in there. The reason that it’s so important is because our nations can cross borders of what are perceived as other nations. My own nations are that way. Bay Mills Nation in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, in the US, and Garden River First Nation, in Ontario, Canada, belong together, but because of the 49th parallel, it’s Canada on one side and the US on the other. We’re not just one people, we are peoples and our lands can encompass more than one settler nation. So Indigenous futurisms became a political pushing-forward of decolonization."

A section also talking about the difference could be pertinent.

Let me know!

It's debated whether or not Dillon coined the term, but yes, I see "Indigenous Futurisms" plural coming from Native communities more. The article used to be plural but someone changed it to all singular. You are welcome to change it back to plural. Yuchitown (talk) 22:12, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
