| Abstract: |
This paper narrates a project between a local tribe and faculty and students at a university during COVID-19. From an Indigenous Knowledge framework, which recognizes the “connectedness of all creation across time and space, with relationships between past, present, and future entities” (Walters, et al., 2018, p. 3), we put into action relational accountability and co-resistance as our method for fostering transformative outcomes. We created space within existing non-Native projects to center IK along with tribal desires, knowledge, history, and current efforts to reclaim land and fight for sovereignty. Our work highlights visibility and meaningful relationships between institutions and the unceded lands which they occupy, and reports data from each event, highlighting significance for those interested in building a pluriversity.
