I Am from the Sea, You Are from the Land

Summary

How does water act as a relational presence when in the field, and how does this relationship inform local Indigenous communities as they look to a future with more authority over their territory and heritage? This paper provides a first look into a Guardian Watchmen program situated on Vancouver Island and explores the ways in which Guardians better understand the social and cultural networks in which they are embedded in both the contemporary world and the places in which the ancestors and their belongings reside.
