Reflections on the (continued and future) importance of Indigenous geographies

Abstract

Over a decade ago, RDK Herman wrote on the importance of Indigenous geographies and what made it distinct from the broader field of geography of which it is a part. In this commentary, I take up Herman's provocation by making the case that Indigenous geographies will continue to be a vital part of the field of geography as it moves forward into the future, especially in the ways that we think about, reimagine, and unsettle existing geographical thought and practices, particularly in the ways we relate to the physical and discursive spaces we move within.
