A Yellowhead Institute Red Paper
Borders Hide The Horizon
FULL REPORT
COMING
SUMMER 2027
Borders Hide the Horizon asks how Indigenous feminist perspectives on international relations, territory, mobility, and belonging can bring into view the horizon of possibility beyond colonial borders.
This in-depth study locates Indigenous internationalism within a global context increasingly defined by xenophobic and anti-immigration sentiments; sharply drawn nation-state borders, detention centres, and other death-making infrastructure; and mass displacement resulting from imperially-driven climate catastrophe and conflict.
As the world appears to close in around geopolitical fault lines, Borders Hide the Horizon opens new possibilities based on Indigenous feminist conceptualizations of nationhood, land, mobility, relationality, and belonging.
Together, we will reimagine liveable worlds, and move toward the horizon, where the conditions of possibility aren’t mediated by colonial borders.
