Governing with care, reciprocity, and relationality: Recognising the connectivity of human and more-than-human wellbeing and the process of decolonisation

Abstract

In this dialogue, wellbeing-led approaches to governance are situated within broader conversations occurring between Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars about decolonisation, climate change, and practices of cultural resurgence. I highlight how Indigenous peoples around the world are challenging the marginalisation of Indigenous ontologies, epistemologies and practices and seeking to reassert and enact care-filled, kin-centric, and reciprocal relationships with humans and more-than-humans through decolonising governance and management approaches.
