Situating the RAVEN Essays
No full textBook Description: This collection celebrates emerging scholars in Indigenous studies, featuring student essays that explore Indigenous justice, ethics, and environmental justice, while highlighting a decade of collaboration with RAVEN, a legal defence organization.
Named after the Respecting Aboriginal Values and Environmental Needs (RAVEN) nonprofit organization, The RAVEN Essays is an anthology that celebrates a decade of prize-winning student essays. Since 2012, RAVEN has awarded an annual essay prize to honour students who champion the vital importance of Indigenous rights and self-determination, both in Canada and globally. The essays featured in this collection highlight exceptional student work while reflecting on the evolving relationship between Indigenous politics and academia. From issues like fishing rights and the Trans Mountain Pipeline to challenges of sexism and conservation policy, these essays capture a transformative period in Indigenous struggles, offering insights that resonate far beyond the Canadian settler state. The anthology also includes contributions from prominent scholars such as Glen Coulthard, Dara Culhane, Michael Fabris, Sarah Hunt, and Heather Dorries. Five complementary essays explore various aspects of structural change, institutional constraints, and broader commitments to Indigenous knowledge within university settings. Aimed at readers in Indigenous law, environmental studies, anthropology, and geography, The RAVEN Essays is a book created by students for students, and by academics for the academy. Together, the contributors reflect on the powerful formation and enactment of Indigenous law, environmental stewardship, place-based knowledge, pedagogy, and literacy – both within the academy and in the broader community, across land, water, and culture

No full textFirst Nations communities have been planning adaptively with the environment since time immemorial and are now forced to respond to the colonial climate crisis. First Nation Adapt (FN Adapt), operated by the Government of Canada, provides funding to projects planning for these increasing changes in First Nations communities. However, the program’s position within a settler colonial institution requires interrogating FN Adapt, as such institutions have an ongoing legacy of enclosing Indigenous planning practices. This research provides a consolidated critique of the program by applying a test of enclosure, to see how the program interacts with Indigenous planning practices, outlined through literature on Indigenous Planning Theory, Anti-Colonial Planning Theory, and Indigenous Environmental Justice. Though FN Adapt makes strides towards supporting culturally relevant planning and fills a void in accessing necessary funding, its overarching government structures limit the program’s ability to fully support Indigenous planning, instead enclosing elements of Indigenous planning practices.M.A
