![]() ![]() ![]() As a foundation of valuing, land forms the framework for a conceptualization of Indigenous environmental ethics as an anticolonial force for sovereign Indigenous futures. This work is an attempt to articulate the nature of land as a material, conceptual, and ontological foundation for Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and valuing. ![]() ![]() Land is key to the operations of coloniality, but the power of the land is also the key anticolonial force that grounds Indigenous liberation. The book functions as a way of preserving important knowledge and tradition, contextualizing that knowledge within Canada's colonial legacy and providing an Inuit perspective on how we relate to each other, to other living beings and the environment. Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit - meaning all the extensive knowledge and experience passed from generation to generation - is a collection of contributions by well- known and respected Inuit Elders. Unfortunately, most people have a very limited understanding of Inuit culture, and often apply only a few trappings of culture - past practices, artifacts and catchwords -to projects to justify cultural relevance. While much research has articulated the impacts of colonization and recognized that Indigenous cultures and worldviews are central to the well-being of Indigenous peoples and communities, little work has been done to preserve Inuit culture. The Inuit have experienced colonization and the resulting disregard for the societal systems, beliefs and support structures foundational to Inuit culture for generations. ![]()

While he grew up with only irregular exposure to religion, he became a devout Anglican during his marriage and then converted to Catholicism in 1922. Anti-Semitic views also surface in some of his writings. ![]() Politically, he favored a theory called distributism-or broadly redistributing land and resources-which he viewed as a middle ground between socialism and capitalism. In addition to his journalism and fiction, he wrote extensively on politics and religion. Over the next three decades, Chesterton was a widely known, well-respected, and famously eccentric mainstay in British literary circles. Two more of his most significant books, The Man Who Was Thursday and Orthodoxy, followed in 19, and he began writing his famous Father Brown stories in 1910. But he first rose to literary prominence for his 1904 novel The Napoleon of Notting Hill and his landmark study of Charles Dickens’s work in 1906. He began writing a weekly newspaper column the next year-and continued for the rest of his life. In 1901, he married Francis Blogg, who was a major influence on his religiosity later in life. However, after realizing that he far preferred literature, he dropped out and began working in publishing and journalism. Chesterton was born and raised in London, where he went to elite private schools and then attended University College London to study art. ![]() |
