ABSTRACT

While much contemporary Indigenous sf writing highlights relationships with specific lands and waters as environments shift and a future-forward sense of place changes, the short narrative form offers a mode of conveying non-place-based environmental issues. Such narratives, however, still link culture with environment. With a focus on Volume 3 of Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection, the Indigenous futurisms anthology, this chapter proposes the subgeneric term “Indigenous ecocritical futurism” for these speculative futures, which remind us that a sense of placelessness, as processes like climate change alter the world we know, does not preclude the possibility of adaptation and cultural resilience.
