Speaking: Dr. Andrea Reid, University of British Columbia
Land Back is a movement to reclaim Indigenous jurisdiction, offering ‘a new way to communicate old demands.’ Fish Back shares the same concerns—seeking to address theft of Indigenous fisheries, harms that have followed from colonization, and the need for restoration across ecological, economic, political, cultural, and spiritual spheres. This talk offers an invitation to envision what we can re-establish and reclaim through a re-constitution of Indigenous law and governance over fisheries. Together, we will discuss what roles knowledge co-production, environmental assessment and policy, community-based management and governance, and co-management regimes may (or may not) play on the path towards realizing more just futures for fish, fisheries, and fishing peoples.
Speaker will be in Fairbanks, Fairbanks Troth Yeddha' Campus O'Neill Bldg., Room 201
Lena Point Fisheries Facility, Room 101
