*Indigenous Childhoods and the Environment*
This panel discusses indigenous children’s understandings of and engagement
with the environment in which they grow up, alongside its human and
nonhuman inhabitants. The relationships of indigenous peoples to the
environment have become an increasingly visible area of study, owing to an
interest in human–nonhuman entanglements and indigenous ways of knowing on
the one hand, and to major transformations that communities are undergoing
on the other. However, the perspectives and experiences of children have
largely been absent from these discussions. During childhood we are
socialized into becoming culturally competent members of our communities as
well as into navigating the physical environment in which we grow up. And
as children we are most affected by changes of this environment. Building
on socialization research that views children as active participants who
shape their own futures and those of their communities, in this panel, we
explore ethnographically how indigenous children attend to and interact
with the environment in which they grow up, how they cope with
transformations thereof, and what their trajectories through multiple
spaces are. How do they interact with peers, with caregivers, and with the
human and nonhuman others that they encounter on their paths? Different and
changing environments may afford and entail different knowledge, skills,
patterns of interaction, cooperation, and relations between social actors.
How do children acquire different bodies of knowledge, how do they develop
different abilities and skills? We invite papers that discuss these and
related questions drawing on ethnographies of indigenous childhoods from
across continents.
