Описание: Being homeless in one’s homeland is a colonial legacy for many indigenous people in settler societies. the construction of commonwealth nation-states from colonial settler societies depended on the dispossession of indigenous peoples from their lands. the legacy of that dispossession and related attempts at assimilation that disrupted indigenous practices, languages, and cultures—including patterns of housing and land use—can be seen today in the disproportionate number of indigenous people affected by homelessness in both rural and urban settings.Essays in this collection explore the meaning and scope of indigenous homelessness in the canada, australia, and new Zealand. they argue that effective policy and support programs aimed at relieving indigenous homelessness must be rooted in indigenous conceptions of home, land, and kinship, and cannot ignore the context of systemic inequality, institutionalization, landlessness, among other things, that stem from a history of colonialism.Indigenous Homelessness: Perspectives from Canada, New Zealand and Australia provides a comprehensive exploration of the indigenous experience of homelessness. it testifies to ongoing cultural resilience and lays the groundwork for practices and policies designed to better address the conditions that lead to homelessness among indigenous peoples.

Описание:
"Activating the Heart?"is an exploration of storytelling as a tool for knowledge production and sharing to build new connections between people and their histories, environments, and cultural geographies. The collection pays particular attention to the significance of storytelling in Indigenous knowledge frameworks and extends into other ways of knowing in works where scholars have embraced narrative and story as a part of their research approach.
In the first section, Storytelling to Understand, authors draw on both theoretical and empirical work to examine storytelling as a way of knowing. In the second section, Storytelling to Share, authors demonstrate the power of stories to share knowledge and convey significant lessons, as well as to engage different audiences in knowledge exchange. The third section, Storytelling to Create, contains three poems and a short story that engage with storytelling as a means to produce or create knowledge, particularly through explorations of relationship to place.
The result is an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural dialogue that yields important insights in terms of qualitative research methods, language and literacy, policy-making, human environment relationships, and healing. This book is intended for scholars, artists, activists, policymakers, and practitioners who are interested in storytelling as a method for teaching, cross-cultural understanding, community engagement, and knowledge exchange.
