Abstract: Indigenous feminism is a vital theory, analytic, and practice for anyone concerned with settler colonialism, racism, and heteropatriarchy in Canada. Reflecting on the development of Making Space for Indigenous Feminism, 3rd ed . (Fernwood Publishing 2024), this article explores the contemporary contributions of Indigenous feminism relative to decolonial and anti-racist scholarship and practice, with particular emphasis on interventions in the new edition that advance relational orientations to transformation. The creation of a new, 3rd edition of Making Space provides an important juncture to reflect on the Indigenous feminist movement’s progress and to engage critical dialogue around its gains, potential limitations, and its ongoing and future objectives. What is the Indigenous feminist movement concerned with today, and how are we conceptualizing the future directions and parameters of the movement? With the movement’s foundations and parameters now established, and with a range of applications across scholarly and community contexts in recent decades, this edition of Making Space aims to attend to the parameters of the movement and their associated implications. How do Indigenous feminism’s central concepts and orientations impact those we move in relation to? In what ways might fluidity and expansion stand to advance the intellectual and activist tradition of Indigenous feminism, without sacrificing meaning and precision in our analyses and critiques? What forms of association or convergence are limited or enabled by the ways in which we understand the boundaries of the movement and its degree of porosity relative to other movements and actors? The following discussion provides an overview of contemporary Indigenous feminist works that shed light on these questions, with a specific focus on interventions in Making Space 3 that critically engage the possibilities and challenges of relational approaches to decolonization and transformation in Canada and other contexts of settler colonialism. Résumé: Le féminisme autochtone constitue une théorie, une méthode d’analyse et une pratique essentielle pour toute personne préoccupée par le colonialisme de peuplement, le racisme et l’hétéropatriarcat au Canada. En réfléchissant au développement de Making Space for Indigenous Feminism , 3e édition, cet article explore les contributions du féminisme autochtone à la recherche et aux pratiques décoloniales en général, en mettant particulièrement l’accent sur les interventions qui illustrent les possibilités et les défis d’une orientation relationnelle. Le mouvement féministe autochtone s’est solidement établi au cours des deux dernières décennies, avec des applications dans les contextes publics, communautaires et universitaires au Canada. Alors que les structures coloniales de peuplement et hétéropatriarcales demeurent constantes au Canada, les féministes autochtones travaillent également à créer un espace pour de nouvelles conversations, en accord avec l’évolution du contexte social et politique. La création d’une nouvelle 3e édition de Making Space offre une occasion de réfléchir aux progrès du mouvement et d’engager un dialogue sur ses acquis, ses limites potentielles, ainsi que sur ses objectifs actuels et futurs. Quelles sont aujourd’hui les priorités du mouvement féministe autochtone, et comment les féministes autochtones et décoloniales imaginent- elles l’avenir du mouvement ? Après avoir établi les fondements du mouvement et traversé les premières phases d’application dans les milieux universitaires et communautaires, cette édition vise également à examiner les paramètres du mouvement et leurs implications. Dans quelle mesure son état constitutif permet-il la fluidité et l’expansion, sans sacrifier la signification et la précision de nos analyses et critiques ? À quel point nos frontières sont-elles poreuses, et quelles formes d’association ou de convergence permettent-elles ? Quels facteurs limitent ou entravent les approches relationnelles ? L’examen de la théorie et des processus féministes autochtones contemporains offre des perspectives cruciales pour répondre à ces questions, en mettant en exergue les possibilités transformatrices du féminisme autochtone face aux crises contemporaines au Canada et dans d’autres contextes de colonialisme de peuplement.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
