As the calls for Palestinian solidarity and support grow, Indigenous people continue to learn and reflect on the shape of that solidarity. Now, more than ever, understanding the global context and nature of settler colonialism is critical to moving past and beyond it.
This Yellowhead School Reading List, “From Askiy to the Sea”, is one modest reflection of that shared struggle and desire for solidarity, meant to make links between Palestine and other settler colonial contexts in order to understand and explain this relationship better.
Yellowhead Institute is an Indigenous-led research and education centre based in the Faculty of Arts at Toronto Metropolitan University. The Institute privileges Indigenous philosophy and amplifies Indigenous voices that provide alternatives to settler colonialism in Canada today. Rooted in community networks, Yellowhead offers critical and accessible resources to support the reclamation of Indigenous land and life.
