We live in an era of decimation dubbed by some the "anthropocene.¡± Settler-colonial states such as
the US and Canada disproportionately consume the world. As we reconsider violent human practices
and conceive of new ways of living with Earth, we must interrogate settler sexuality and family
constructs that have made both land and women into property. Yet it is indigenous family that is
characterized as dysfunctional. Indigenous peoples have been disciplined by the state according to a
monogamist, heteronormative, marriage-focused, nuclear family ideal. Settler sexuality and its
unsustainable family forms do not only harm humans, but they harm the earth. I consider how
expansive indigenous kin relations, including with nonhumans, can be more emotionally, economically,
and environmentally just.
Kim TallBear is author of Native American DNA: Tribal Belonging and the False Promise of Genetic
Science (2013). She studies the racial politics of ¡°gene talk¡± in science and popular culture. She is also
interested in the similarities between Western constructions of "nature" and "sexuality,¡± and how they
can be understood differently in indigenous worldviews. TallBear draws on indigenous, feminist, and
queer theory in her teaching and research that focus on undermining the nature/culture split and its role
in colonialism, racism, sexism, homophobia, and environmental degradation. She is a citizen of the
Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate in South Dakota and is also descended from the Cheyenne & Arapaho Tribes
of Oklahoma.
