Abstract
Texas and Norway may appear to be worlds apart—one flat, arid, and sprawling across the vast US West, the other green, mountainous, and defined by its waters. Yet they face surprisingly similar challenges resulting from economies built on the oil industry in a world now wracked by climate change. This essay assumes that indigenous sovereignty and social justice issues are inextricable from environmental concerns, and engages the experience of teaching and researching indigenous texts and petro-fictions, from Saami novels to writings about Standing Rock, during a Fulbright year in Norway.
