DOI: 10.1558/equinox.43158

Blurb:

Indigenous peoples often speak of being from and of particular places. Indigenous relationships are both ancient and emerging, tied to particular places of revolution or power, burial sites, and actions of sacred figures. Indigenous religions are rooted in place, but not “stuck” in place as evident in urban intertribal gatherings and transnational protest movements.
