Joyce Green

Joyce Green is a citizen of the Ktunaxa Nation and a member of Yaq̓it ʔa·knuqⱡiʔit (Tobacco Plains Indian Band). She lives in ʔa·kiskaqⱡi?it – “where two trails meet on the prairie” (Cranbrook, BC), in ʔamakʔis Ktunaxa – the unceded and stolen teritory of the Ktunaxa Nation. Her ancestry includes English, Ktunaxa and Cree-Scots Metis people and she honours them all. Her research interests focus on Indigenous-settler relations and the possibility of decolonization in Canada; and a transformative ecology of relationship with place, epitomized by many traditional Indigenous conceptions of land and place. She is the editor of three books (Making Space for Indigenous Feminism [editions 1 and 2]) and Indivisible: Indigenous Human Rights (all Fernwood Publishing). She is Professor Emerita of Political Science (retired) at the University of Regina, and is a student of the Ktunaxa language now.
