Abstract: The “High Desert Wildtending Network” is a grassroots movement of mostly white and non-Native nomadic “rewilders” in the northwest United States who appropriate Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge, gathering and replanting wild foods in a seasonal round. Evaluating Wildtending’s potentialities for settler-indigenous solidarity, this article discusses the network’s rhetorical shifts within the context of the 2016 armed occupation at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and the movement against the Dakota Access Pipeline at Standing Rock.
