Week 10 · Indigenous Futurities Work

Orientation

What are we disturbing?

Week 10 distinguishes reconciliation, decolonization, and indigenization, then asks students to make a project’s relation, authority, material change, and limits visible.

Signal traces

Live wires

Strength, forgiveness, sacrifice, and humility carry change and growth into accountable practice.
Authority matters because a good intention cannot authorize itself by having excellent vibes.
Limits belong in the project because unbounded claims are how institutions sneak out the side door.

Held in relation

In the living classroom

Maya and the class workshop project criteria, questions of authority, and accountable next movements.

Public boundary: The public station offers project-orientation questions, not teaching decks, private project materials, or a substitute for classroom feedback.

Optional machine route

Try this with a machine

Bring the source discipline with you. The machine can help the question move, but it does not become the source.

Relational investigation prompt

Help me investigate how to distinguish reconciliation, decolonization, and indigenization without using them as interchangeable institutional confetti. Work only from sources I provide, distinguish source language from your inference, name uncertainty, offer one counter-reading, and end with two genuine wondering questions. Do not invent teachings or finish the question for me.

The prompt remains visible for manual copying.

Carry this onward

Leave with this unresolved

What evidence would show that a project changed a material relation instead of only changing the language around it?
