I have some information to add to this page about food sovereignty as a means of contributing towards indigenous decolonization, please feel free to look it over!

This article needs lots of work and citations

I think maybe the first sentence needs to be referenced.

Oh - - and all of the rest of the sentences, as well. ;)

Adding 4 sections, revising the introduction, and reformatting
Hi everyone,

I'd like to start with my positionality. I'm not of Indigenous lineage or background, but I do hope to be a settler ally by amplifying Indigenous voices, and I've tried to do that below by highlighting authors Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Thomas King, Marie Battiste, and Gerald Vizenor. That being said, more Indigenous perspectives need to be included here. I'd like for topics of Hawaiian indigeneity and Indigenous feminism, at the very least, to be covered here some time soon.

The following are my reasons for including "Indigenous Postcolonial Theory;" "Survivance, Sovereignty, and Rhetorical Sovereignty;" "Narrative, counter-storytelling, and testimonies;" and "Implications of Western knowledge production and epistemologies." Although IPT may not be as widely written about as the other topics I covered, I think it makes important distinctions from other schools of postcolonial thought and supplies a sturdy framework to ground the article. If anyone knows of or finds a more cited or renowned theoretical framework to include here, by all means replace IPT. I also recommend someone find a critical response to IPT or Indigenous decolonization in general to add depth and perspective to the article. I included the "Implications..." section because I'm making the assumption that many readers of this article will be coming from that background and knowledge base. Thus, it's important to make this article and its content accessible to everyone, especially those who may be most challenged by alternative funds of knowledge to Western orthodoxy.

My further recommendations for this article are: the methods section must be grown and improved. Linda Tuhiwai Smith's book on Indigenous Methodologies could provide great methods to include here. More Indigenous scholars must be added too. Again, I recommend adding scholars who address gender inequity, ableism, and other categories of intersectional oppression that must be decolonized. It would be fantastic if this article eventually got to the place where methods specific to individual communities and nations were included too. Lastly, the last two sections about personal healing journeys and the National Gallery of Canada have to be seriously revised or deleted. The former has no citations whatsoever, and the latter is tremendously irrelevant (with the possible exception of the 4th paragraph). Perhaps I show too much mercy in not deleting these sections. Alas, I pass the burden to the next person to decide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jslfriedman (talk • contribs) 00:13, 26 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I just made some cuts on the National Gallery of Canada section. I agree that much of it feels irrelevant. Not sure if that was the way to go (maybe that was too merciful as well), but someone with more insight into the matter should definitely take a deeper look at what's should get added or cut. 70.77.36.121 (talk) 04:35, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey! I completely agree with the inclusion of Hawaiian indigeneity. Would it also be pertinent to add perspectives from other global indigenous communities, such as the Maori or Hmong, for example? Or would these not fall under the umbrella of indigenous decolonization? Nonetheless, great work everyone on this article! Eman8854 (talk) 16:18, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

POV
The article is fairly heavily biased. Not only does it fails to incorporate criticisms of decolonisation, but the "Challenges and Initiatives to Indigenous Decolonization" is very poor and written like an essay, with blatant NPOV violations like "Recognizing the artificial nature of borders is crucial".
