Such pieces have a unique, although constrained, ability to move from being objects just used as symbols of multicultural incorporation toward insurgent acts sustaining and creating spatial reorganization. What kind of geographical work can be done by a stone carving on a bridge or a riverside iron/wood sculpture? These questions of spatial significance and capacity are especially well tested in urban sites, where Indigenous presence is most thoroughly "removed" or forgotten. What happens when Native homelands are reasserted within the city? Is art the most effective means of making such assertions? This provocation draws from ongoing collaborative research on urban art installations, commissioned by a Native nation, with the explicit aim of actively reshaping the landscape of Portland, Oregon, and beyond.

They illustrate how the practice of mobility underlies the fiction of ‘settling,’ offer examples for understanding Indigenous mobility principles and practices, and examine the potential incommensurabilities between mobility justice and mobility sovereignties that reject settler colonialism. The authors argue for the urgency of integrating the ‘mobilities paradigm’ with Indigenous studies and ethnic studies analyses of settler colonialism, Indigeneity, and race. The article also serves as introduction to the special issue of Mobilities, ‘Mobilizing Indigeneity and Race Within and Against Settler Colonialism.’ The authors preview how the special issue offers new insights into settler colonialism’s mobile architectures, competing technologies of maritime mobility, decolonial forms of landscape conservation on travel corridors, how ‘voluntourism’ enables the crafting of White settler subjectivity, the roles of digital media for displaced peoples, and what it means to move as a sovereign Indigenous nation.

Drawing on the authors' refl ections on their collaborative relationship, the article describes possibilities for challenging and intervening in institutional power structures that seek to further align the values of higher education with the prerogatives of neoliberalism in a settler colonial and xenophobic state. The authors suggest that German Studies scholars draw on critical frameworks in activist disciplines such as Indigenous Studies as well as recent critical interventions within German Studies in order to reimagine and increase commitments to transformative scholarship and pedagogies. We write this piece as scholars, collaborators, and friends. The call to build trans-disciplinary relationships between Indigenous Studies and German Studies has allowed us to think through the past several years of friendship and collaboration in ways that were previously only ever implicit in our conversations. Natchee is faculty in Ethnic Studies, while Bradley is faculty in a modern languages program. Both of our programs are housed in the same administrative unit at Oregon State University, a large public land-grant institution in the United States. In 2010, in response to the 2008 economic crisis, our university implemented a "strategic realignment," combining many previously independent departments into interdisciplinary schools. As a result, our departments joined Anthropology and Women's Studies to form the School of Language, Culture, and Society. For two assistant professors hired after the realignment, this mix of programs seemed strange. We were housed with programs that represented a wide range of scholarly traditions and disciplinary values that cut awkwardly across the humanities and the social sciences. Bradley remembers thinking that a modern languages program made much more sense in the school that housed English and Film Studies or perhaps History and Philosophy. Although the particular configuration of disciplines that constitutes our school is unique, we each took the call for increased interdisciplinary

It describes the construction of the course, student outcomes, and the final and publicly presented collaborative project: the Social Justice Tour of Corvallis. Based on work in a small largely white town, this project presents a reproducible model for student learning and actively engaging with questions of race and geography.

Diverging from scholarship that tends to treat indigenous geography as an analytical concept, Natchee Blu Barnd instead draws attention to the subtle manifestations of everyday cultural practices-the concrete and often mundane activities involved in the creation of indigenous space.

Drawing upon the work included w the collection called “Mobilizing Indigeneity and Race Within and Against Settler Colonialism,” the participants discuss how they came to the subject of mobilities, how this concept impacts their work, and the ways it intersects with the fields of Ethnic Studies and Indigenous Studies. The special issue editors Carpio, Barraclough, and Barnd interview and facilitate the discussion between authors Vasquez Ruiz, Toomey, Katz, and Fraga. This article includes a reading list of scholarship used for the special issue on race, Indigeneity, and mobilities.

Yet Indigenous peoples themselves have long engaged in their own mapping practices to share ancestral knowledge, challenge colonial rule, and reclaim Indigenous “place-worlds.” Although there is now a sizable body of scholarly literature on the mapping of empire, this special issue on “Decolonizing the Map” aims to recenter Indigenous mappings and decolonial cartographies as spatial practices of world-making. In this introductory article, we provide an overview of the theory and praxis of decolonial mapping and outline the key themes of the contributions to the present special issue. Drawing upon insights from this edited collection, we conclude that decolonial mapping requires a recentering of Indigenous geographical knowledge, respect for Indigenous protocols, and the active participation of Indigen...

US national parks are symbolic of conservation and ripe for examination for their contribution to socio-spatial exclusion of Black, Indigenous and other people of color from outdoor spaces. We examined the origins of over 2,000 place names in 16 (26% of) US national parks to quantify the extent that national park narratives perpetuate colonialism and racism. Through iterative thematic analysis of place name origins we constructed a decision tree for classifying place name problem types according to their dimensions of racism and colonialism (if any), which enabled quantification and spatial analysis of problem types by park. We found that these highly visible conservation landscapes commemorate individuals and words that tacitly endorse racist and anti-Indigenous ideologies at a system scale. C...

I used this tool as a way of disorienting my students comfort with their knowledge. A couple of students were already familiar with the maps and their implications, but the majority were rather perplexed, and then visibly contemplative about their long-assumed understanding of the physical shape of the world. In the class discussion, students (and later the maintenance crew that came in during a class break) offered a few telling comments. One of the first things that most noticed was that (in one of the maps) Australia suddenly seemed to have more global importance based upon its now “prominent” location and “centrality” to the entire world. The “down under” (read: hidden, insignificant, a second thought) was now “up above” (read: visible, important, primary to) the rest of the world. At the same time, the United States—what Americans (and only Americans) think of as the center of the universe suddenly became contextualized. One student remarked that he felt rather uncomfortable that on this upside down map the United States seemed “rather small, pushed over to the corner,” and thus less important.
