"Their Shadows Still Walk with Us": Mapping a Decolonial Cartography of Struggle with Ingrid Washinawatok El-Issa

Abstract

This paper maps a cartography of struggle to document the dynamic, living legacy of Menominee leader Ingrid Washinawatok El-Issa and her contribution to the decolonial possibilities of transnational Indigenous feminism. I propose that mapping a cartography of struggle is a useful way for movements to consider how the past informs the present and future possibilities of resistance and decoloniality.
