Chapter 1 examines Latina/o encounters with and reclamations of indigeneity from the eighteenth century to the present. Deploying violentologies as a heuristic device and hermeneutic prism, it focuses on established and emergent Latina/o autobiographical literary genres, cinematic texts, performative popular culture spectacles, and recently recovered archival materials and unique oral histories. These texts cumulatively reveal the wide spectrum of Latina/o antipathies toward, and affiliations with, Native nations and indigenous peoples in the United States and abroad. This chapter thus foregrounds the ideological diversity of supra-Latina/o violentologies by examining the myriad Latina/o involvements in the US Indian Wars vis-à-vis ambidextrous, albeit ambivalent, Latina/o neoindigenous, as well as problematic indigenist, performances of XicanIndia/o and LatIndia/o modalities, in addition to mixed-heritage, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and nonbinary (LGBTQI+), as well as Two-Spirit warrior paradigms in Indian Country and elsewhere.Less

Indigenous peoples have always met colonization with active resistance. In recent years, there has been growing resistance to scientific methods and assumptions that contribute to ongoing violence and colonization. This chapter engages in a conversation about the epistemologies, ontologies, and axiologies that characterize Indigenist ways of knowing. The chapter emphasizes that each individual exists in their own relationship with knowledge and the research they do is not neutral. It enlivens the values of their culture(s). The reader is invited to join a conversation to reflect on their own relationship with knowledge and consider how they might engage in research that does not mine for culture, but rather contributes to social justice.Less
