Anotace

V originále

In “Braiding Indigenous Women’s Environmental Knowledge,” Martina Horáková explores the topic of environmental justice from the point of view of Indigenous women’s intellectual thought. It first unpacks the entangled relationship of Indigeneity and environmental (in)justice and racism, highlighting how this relationship is embedded in the nature of the settler colonial nation-state and how specific Indigenous concepts such as TEK (Traditional Ecological Knowledge) intervene into mainstream environmental discourse. Then it focuses particularly on the role of Indigenous women’s intellectual tradition in bringing forward and articulating key concepts shaping environmental injustice as well as cultural destruction as a direct consequence of settler colonization. Although often overlooked and doubly marginalized in the settler colonial patriarchal and neoliberal setting, Indigenous women have always been important agents of witnessing, bearers of knowledge, and educators of the next generations, who communicate significant knowledges related to land management, environmental protection and sustainability, and the well-being of all eco-systems and interrelated beings, both human and non-human. The last section provides a short case study of Indigenous environmental scientist and educator Robin Vall Kimmerer’s work to argue that Indigenous women such as Kimmerer often work at the intersections of Indigenous solidarity and settler alliances in their environmental writings and political work. The conclusion makes a case for perceiving this kind of work as an example of the so called restorative environmental justice.
