The waters of settler colonialism: Alana Sayers, Revitalizing Hupač̓asatḥ navigational knowledge: Mapping the waters of settler-colonialism using a critical, coastal, community-based consciousness, PhD dissertation, University of Victoria, 2026

05May26

Abstract: The author views this dissertation as a curation of knowledges (generational, lived experience, and academic) designed to reveal how Hupač̓asatḥ First Nation has been racialized, one of the foundations of settler-colonialism, by the Canadian state. To view these knowledges and guide the curation of them, the author developed a Critical, Coastal, Community-Based, Consciousness which she uses to present specific instances of how she has experienced colonization in the form of an intergenerational mapping space.
