Summary/Abstract

This paper discusses the ways in which Indigenous voices frame climate change and how that relates to how some Indigenous peoples might relate to geoengineering if they created their own discourse on it. The paper also focuses on how it is hard to discuss Indigenous consent in relation to geoengineering precisely because Indigenous peoples never consented to any of global or local structures of colonial power that have generated the topic of geoengineering in the first place. And the paper concludes by making the point that for geoengineering discourse to be more salient to some Indigenous peoples, scholars and scientists will have to take up what Indigenous peoples have already conveyed about climate change and colonialism and the solutions for climate justice.
