Being Together in Place explores the landscapes that convene Native
and non-Native people into sustained and difficult negotiations
over their radically different interests and concerns. Grounded in
three sites—the Cheslatta-Carrier traditional territory in
British Columbia; the Wakarusa Wetlands in northeastern Kansas; and
the Waitangi Treaty Grounds in Aotearoa/New Zealand—this book
highlights the challenging, tentative, and provisional work of
coexistence around such contested spaces as wetlands, treaty
grounds, fishing spots, recreation areas, cemeteries, heritage
trails, and traditional village sites. At these sites, activists
learn how to articulate and defend their intrinsic and
life-supportive ways of being, particularly to those who are intent
on damaging or destroying these places. Using ethnographic
research and a geographic perspective, Soren C. Larsen and Jay T.
Johnson show how the communities in these regions challenge the
power relations that structure the ongoing (post)colonial encounter
in liberal democratic settler-states. Emerging from their
conversations with activists was a distinctive sense that the
places for which they cared had agency, a “call” that pulled
them into dialogue, relationships, and action with human and
nonhuman others. This being-together-in-place, they find, speaks in
a powerful way to the vitalities of coexistence: where humans and
nonhumans are working to decolonize their relationships; where
reciprocal guardianship is being stitched back together in new and
unanticipated ways; and where a new kind of “place thinking” is
emerging on the borders of colonial power.
