- CICR Annotated Bibliography: Artistic, Oral, and Written Resources of Colonial Injustices and Current Realities by Shaelyn Wabegijig supported by Emma Bowick edited by Babak Ashrafkhani Limoudehi & waaseyaa’sin Christine Sy (2025)
This resource, in part, identifies knowledge outputs from diverse creators of the Indigenous nations of Vancouver Island, particularly the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. It centres these local Indigenous outputs to disrupt settler-colonial orientations, helps local non-Indigenous learners develop more meaningful relations
to place, and shows local Indigenous nations that others are learning more of their collective outputs and reflections. This is a living document that will grow over time.
Our aims have been to:
• centre local Indigenous outputs and reflections, which can help disrupt settler shape how non-Indigenous learners live in shared place with local Indigenous peoples. Even in the absence of living relationships with local Indigenous knowledge holders, becoming informed in these ways by local Indigenous thought and expression can be a crucial step towards building more meaningful relations;
• exemplify the intersectionality of local Indigenous histories and realities by engaging with their complexly layered stories, histories, and lived realities;
• collate diverse expressions of local Indigenous knowing and creativity, and thus help local Indigenous peoples witness others—non-Indigenous learners and Indigenous learners from other territories alike—actively valuing their contributions;
• additionally serve local Indigenous peoples by helping them to more readily see at least some of the extent of their collective outputs and reflections over time.
In critically examining colonization and other, inter-related problems and questions, we should not underestimate the importance of privileging the perspectives and voices of Indigenous and other oppressed peoples. We hope other researchers, including those Indigenous to here, will find in this first 2025 bibliographic iteration a helpful starting point to understanding the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ histories
and futures of this place and perhaps for thinking about your own research and bibliographic work.
This annotated bibliography is organized by webinars, websites, videos, films, maps, theses, court cases, books, articles (peer reviewed), and archives.
