Abstract

We placed this chapter at the beginning of the book to emphasize the importance of the question, “whose land are we talking about?” Indeed, the very question of ownership is one Tuck and Guess remind us is open to challenge. Beginning with this chapter, we are signaling to readers that the spaces that we are writing about in the book are Indigenous spaces that have been violently overlaid with colonizing practices, actions, images, etc.
