6/6/2018 0 Comments Be Indigenist; Not FeministMen, have you encountered so called liberated women who told you that you cannot be a feminist? If so, no longer fret. Go back and tell them the theoretical framework of old white feminism is not working anyway because it remains within the humanistic paradigm versus the naturalistic paradigm. Then tell them you are now Indigenist, which represents a genuine paradigm shift that we all need, a paradigm shift where men are situated, where the natural world that includes water and trees sits at the core not just women. Afterall we are all Indigenous to the Earth and we all have Indigenous knowledge. Stand up for the water versus old white feminism that won't embrace you. The Indigenous paradigm will. ![]() Lynn Gehl, Ph.D. is an Algonquin Anishinaabe-kwe from the Ottawa River Valley.
