This edited volume emerged from powerful collaborations with Indigenous peoples across the Pacific and a series of international exchanges between the faculty and students of Indigenous Governance (IGOV) at the University of Victoria and the Indigenous Politics Program (UHIP) at the University of Hawai’i, Mānoa. We challenged each contributor to discuss their experiences with Indigenous resurgence in “everyday” settings – those often unseen, unacknowledged actions that renew our communities and relationships that promote our health and well-being. The twenty-two contributors to this book demonstrate that focusing on everyday actions can be an important emancipatory site for highlighting the relational, experiential and dynamic nature of Indigenous resurgence. Overall, these daily acts of resurgence, at the community, family and personal levels, can be critical sites of resistance, education, and transformative change. We hope you enjoy these compact, powerful works that challenge our ways of looking at people, places and practices in an everyday context.
