Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article presents Siwá knowledge, exploring the resilient Shores where Land and Water meet. Like whalers’ logbooks, it charts the historical and present Siwá feminist approaches to Ocean relationality, marking ripples of influence across time. I explore the meaning of Siwá Feminism, through the nation-building actions of Shinnecock women to restore the Water, Sea, Ocean, and Shore through birth, stewardship, and ceremony. Examining the aftermath of the Circassian shipwreck (1876), I reveal how settler colonialism exploited Shinnecock grief. Matriarch-led healing paths emerge post-marine violence, spotlighting Shinnecock women's voices in shaping the future of Siwá Feminism and fostering reconciliation with the Sea.
