M’sɨt No’kmaq

Mots-clés :

Cet article traite de la violence structurelle du colonialisme relativement aux limites de la planète. En tant qu’universitaires issus du colonialisme, nous sommes complices de cette violence. Dans ce contexte, nous nous appuyons humblement sur l’ontologie territoriale des Micmacs, incarnée par le concept de m’sɨt No'kmaq (toutes nos relations), pour repenser notre identité, nos responsabilités et notre place dans un « monde en feu » (Rupa et Patel, 2021). Guidés par le concept de m’sɨt No’kmaq, nous cherchons à comprendre comment certains des concepts que nous employons dans notre enseignement et nos recherches – en particulier les « traumatismes » et les « changements climatiques » – perpétuent une des bases du colonialisme : l’éloignement des peuples autochtones de leur lien avec la terre et l’effacement de celui-ci (Wildcat et coll., 2014, 1). En plus d’une analyse conceptuelle, nous tenons compte de la notion de « colonialité du genre » (Lugones 2010, 742) pour comprendre comment la violence épistémologique prend forme concrètement sur le territoire, par la violence de l’État contre les femmes, les filles et les personnes bispirituelles autochtones. L’apprentissage que nous tirons tout au long de cet article montre comment les concepts coloniaux obscurcissent le rapport des colons à la terre, ce qui mine simultanément la possibilité d’une éthique relationnelle constructive entre colons et peuples autochtones, ainsi qu’avec la terre.
