DESCRIPTION:The fields of Indigenous Geographies and Indigenous Studies ha
 ve provided crucial theorizations on Indigenous place-based ontologies and
  practices\, and how ties to place are at the core of Indigenous understan
 dings of kinship\, as well as visions for decolonization and freedom. In t
 his presentation\, I seek to build on this scholarship by centering Indige
 nous movement as an analytic that incites a radical consciousness of genoc
 idal violence and decolonial futures. My analysis emerges from historical 
 and contemporary Mushkegowuk (Cree) mobilities through the nation’s regi
 onal waterways in and beyond so-called northern Ontario Canada. Through Mu
 shkegowuk movement\, I trace the expansiveness of extractive geographies\,
  from mining developments called the “Ring of Fire” in rural areas\, t
 o seemingly incompatible spaces of colonial state violence against Indigen
 ous peoples in urban centers. Within these conditions of violence\, I am i
 nterested in exploring how Mushkegowuk movement is a source of theory that
  makes the links between the socio-political formations that constitute Mu
 shkegowuk life. In particular\, I examine how regional rivers are a site o
 f confluence\, and how movement on such rivers elucidates the connectivity
  of colonial regimes of power\, and Indigenous political agency\, kinship 
 and interconnected struggles for freedom.
