Gathering Together, We Decide
Archives of Dispossession, Resistance, and Memory in Ndé Homelands
Gathering Together, We Decide foregrounds the voices of Ndé (Lipan Apache) women and their allies as they defiantly struggle against the construction of the border wall and militarization in South Texas and along the U.S.-Mexico bordered-lands. This archive of diverse materials—legal briefs, essays, poetry, and works of visual art—speaks to larger issues of Indigenous resistance, historical memory, and Indigenous self-determination.
Mapping Neshnabé Futurity
Celestial Currents of Sovereignty in Potawatomi Skies, Lands, and Waters
Mapping Neshnabé Futurity is an essential read that offers a rethinking of how we conceive of futurity and sovereignty. Morseau’s interdisciplinary approach, blending anthropological research with literary critique, shows how counter-mapping projects both on the ground and in the skies reclaim space in the Great Lakes region—Neshnabé homelands—and are part of Anishinaabé/Neshnabé communities’ constellations of Indigenous futurities and stories of survivance.

Navajo Sovereignty
Understandings and Visions of the Diné People
A companion to Diné Perspectives: Revitalizing and Reclaiming Navajo Thought, each chapter of Navajo Sovereignty offers the contributors’ individual perspectives. This book discusses Western law’s view of Diné sovereignty, research, activism, creativity, and community, and Navajo sovereignty in traditional education. Above all, Lloyd L. Lee and the contributing scholars and community members call for the rethinking of Navajo sovereignty in a way more rooted in Navajo beliefs, culture, and values.
