This Book Shows That Many Beloved Stories Of Outdoor Adventure Forget That People Have Lived In And With The Natural Spaces Of North America Since Long Before Europeans Arrived. When We Read Western Narratives In Partnership With Indigenous Authored Narratives, A New Paradigm Of HumanNature Relations Begins To Emerge.Divided Into Three Sections, The Book Creates A Conversation Between Texts By NonIndigenous And Indigenous Writers. Nature Adventure Stories By NonIndigenous Writers Can ReColonize Space And Perceptions Of Space Whereas Narratives From Indigenous Writers Demonstrate That Nature (Or Land) Is Neither Empty Nor OwnableNot An Object But Rather A Relation. The First Section, Growing, Delves Into Literature For Children And Young Adults About Adventures In Outdoor Spaces. Moving Explores The Joy And Struggle Of Outdoor Athleticism, And Dwelling, Examines Stories Of Being In Place To Seek Out How Relationship With Land Is Defined.As Cree Writer Harold Johnson Has Pointed Out, Stories Define Our Inner Worlds And Then Also Come To Define The Outer World Around Us. This Book Brings Together Two Very Different Approaches To Nature Writing To Initiate A Dialogue Between Western And Indigenous Literary Responses To Experiencing Land. Ultimately, Decolonizing Wilderness Adventure Narratives Aims To Reorient The Stories Of The Land (Including Its Peoples) From One Of Ownership To One Of Respectful Relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilfrid Laurier University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47958552379637,"sku":"DADAX1771127074","price":88.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/91CoqRhnuoL.jpg?v=1775576409","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/decolonizing-wilderness-adventure-narratives","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
