Description
The stories colonizers tell about Din people represent them as adaptors, uncontrollable, and unruly. These wounding narratives justify the displacement and dispossession of Din people, masking the ongoing violence of settler colonialism.
Bundle: Life, Stories, and Hope Across Din Worlds challenges and dismantles these harmful depictions. By shifting the paradigm away from anthropological lenses, this book offers an exploration of bundling: the active, physical, spiritual, and ideological practice through which Din people assemble stories, tools, and knowledge. From world shifts detailed in oral narratives to the present deadly structures of colonization, Din people have long relied on their bundled knowledge systems to sustain their presence across worlds and time.
Bundle is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand Din resistance, hope, and worlding. Rather than studying Din life from the outside, it prioritizes Din ways of knowing and being to develop bundling as a theory of continuance. For readers invested in decolonization, place-making, and storytelling, Bundle provides an indispensable roadmap for how Din people continue even in the face of domination.
