Property, Power, and Indigenous Sovereignty

GPT Note

Moreton-Robinson’s work touches on both ontology and epistemology, especially in her book “The White Possessive.” She interrogates Western ontologies of property and whiteness, contrasting them with Indigenous ontologies rooted in connection to Country. In her earlier work “Talkin’ Up to the White Woman” (2000), she critiques the limitations of feminist epistemologies that centre whiteness, while advocating for Indigenous feminist knowledge systems based on kinship, land, and spiritual relationships.

I live and work on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. I pay respect to their elders past and present and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
