This talk attends to Native feminist theories of change. I see these as compelling theories of compelling change: they are authored by Indigenous feminists, they consider change and land materially, and they move within Indigenous understandings of power and place. I offer them to contest the colonial theories of change which over-determine what counts as knowing and action in the social sciences, and to describe closely a selection of theories of change which intend to bring about the rematriation of Indigenous land and life.
