At a recent conference I attended, the keynote speaker, Kim Tallbear (Lakota), poignantly and provocatively stated that sett lers of North America1 respond unimaginatively to climate panics and other crises humanity faces, because their stories fail to envision a way for humans to survive. This lack of imagination, she argued, leads to white settlers tending to forget that indigenous peoples already survived the apoca- lypse, which in turn enables indigenous people to imagine survival more richly.
