Drawing on the area of research known as "linguistic landscape," language teachers have recently begun to see the linguistic landscape as a pedagogical resource. Jaworski and Thurlow's (2010) work broadens these ideas. They use the term semiotic landscape, which is "any (public) space with visible inscription made through deliberate human intervention and meaning making" (p. 2). In addition, we link this approach to the notion of indigenous conceptual cartographies, which we use to describe the multiple ways that indigenous teachers conceptualize language, landscape, and cosmology. This includes physical artifacts of cartographic representation such as maps, signs, and the landscape itself, as well as metaphorical cartographies such as ideas of the landscape, concepts of sustainability, and the relationships between language, landscape, and cosmology. We apply these concepts to one lesson that was organized as a narrated walking tour on the grounds of an indigenous community school, arguing that indigenous ways of learning in the landscape offer a rich experience that promotes not only language learning but also other learning that may help create a sustainable future.

Settler-colonial erasing of Indigenous worlds has initiated over 500 years of Indigenous translocalizing strategies that enabled surviving Indigenous communities to reconfigure ancestral worlds into contemporary emergent cosmogonies. These survival strategies offer the world's populations a hopeful model of adaptation to the looming catastrophes of global warming and environmental disasters. This article reconceptualizes translocality in order to offer a corrective imaginary to remediate the slow violence of colonial imaginaries of progress and to promote hopeful futures.
