Overview
In this volume, contributors demonstrate the real-world
application of Indigenous theory to the work they do in their own
communities and how this work is driven by urgency, responsibility,
and justice-work that is from the skin . In From the
Skin , contributors reflect on and describe how they apply the
theories and concepts of Indigenous studies to their communities,
programs, and organizations, and the ways the discipline has
informed and influenced the same. They show the ways these efforts
advance disciplinary theories, methodologies, and praxes. Chapters
cover topics including librarianship, health programs, community
organizing, knowledge recovery, youth programming, and gendered
violence. Through their examples, the contributors show how they
negotiate their peoples' knowledge systems with knowledge produced
in Indigenous studies programs, demonstrating how they understand
the relationship between their people, their nations, and academia.
Editors J. Jeffery Clark and Elise Boxer propose and develop the
term practitioner-theorist to describe how the
contributors theorize and practice knowledge within and between
their nations and academia. Because they live and exist in their
community, these practitioner-theorists always consider how their
thinking and actions benefit their people and nations. The
practitioner-theorists of this volume envision and labor toward
decolonial futures where Indigenous peoples and nations exist on
their own terms. Contributors Randi Lynn
