Come to the Fire: Converging Dialogue on Tribal Sovereignty and Indigenous Futurisms

Come to the Fire: Converging Dialogue on Tribal Sovereignty and Indigenous Futurisms

Author(s): Bailey Morgan Brown Mitchell

The paper outlines three topics related to tribal sovereignty and indigenous futurisms for design educators. The three topics are: (1) Advocating—a call for tribal sovereignty as a topic in design education, (2) Indexing—rationalizing an index of contemporary sovereignty-oriented buildings, and (3) Designing—experiments in designing for sovereign indigenous futures. By calling for a converging dialogue about these topics, the paper serves as a call to action and as a brief outline for future sessions, papers, and research groups related to these themes. The paper is not exhaustive in its scope, but instead operates as a brief introducing possible topics for engagement by design educators.
