Our discussions have just scratched the surface of this text and the concept of "radical resurgence," which works outside concepts of Indigenous reconciliation and draws from a politics of refusal. The CBI Book Group has been reading As We Have Always Done: Indigenous Freedom through Radical Resistance by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, award-winning Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg scholar, activist, and author. The group selected As We Have Always Done to learn from one First Nation and Indigenous perspective, to inform our ongoing work with Indigenous communities, and to strengthen our understanding of different approaches to complex problems of identity, autonomy, and participation. The book explores Indigenous practices and theories that make the case for an “Indigenous resurgence.”
