ABSTRACT: In recent years, we have witnessed the emergence of a vibrant resistance to ongoing and persistent violence against Indigenous women and girls across Turtle Island (North America). Powerful grassroots interventions have raised the voices of Indigenous women and our allies in demanding that this violence must end. Yet the gender analyses employed in these anti-violence efforts are often premised on representations of male violence against women which render invisible people whose gender identities fall outside the western binary. In this talk, I will argue that the erasure of trans and Two-Spirit people is an ongoing form of violence which is integrally connected to the violent manifestations of colonial heteropatriarchy in the lives of Indigenous women and girls. Across these sites and scales of gendered epistemic and material violence, I will discuss the decolonial imperative to advance Indigenous gender-based analyses that foster the agency and self-determination of all our relations.
