Abstract
"In this talk I will explore two major projects I've worked on over the last decade that examine the role of plural Indigenous legal orders and sciences in protecting freshwater fish well-being. This short talk examines the role of Indigenous sovereignty in disrupting settler Canada's harmful legacies in western and arctic watersheds."

Bio
Dr. Zoe Todd is an artist and researcher who studies Indigenous perspectives on freshwater fish conservation in western Canada (specifically, Alberta). Their fish philosophy work brings together Indigenous science, art, social studies, stories, and legal thinking about fish as more-than-human kin. Their current projects examine how Indigenous governance shapes and refracts western fish conservation paradigms. They are a co-founder of the Institute for Freshwater Fish Futures (2018), which is an international collective of scientists, artists, writers, landscape architects, architects, environmentalists, journalists, and community leaders dedicated to honouring reciprocal responsibilities to freshwater fish in watersheds locally and globally.
