    • Summary:"Using visual, poetic, and theoretical language, the contributors approach reconciliation as a problematic narrative about Indigenous-settler relations, but also as a site where conversations about a just future must occur. The result of a four-year collaboration between artists and scholars engaged in resurgence and decolonization, the Land We Are is a moving dialogue that blurs the boundaries between activism, research, and the arts."--Back cover.
