==Origin==
 +
* Named in 2012 by Grace L. Dillon, PhD and Anishinaabe scholar, with the release of ''Walking the Clouds: An Anthology of Indigenous Science Fiction''.
 +
* Grace has stated that the works and genre existed before, just without a unifying name.
 +
* Grace prefers to call it Indigenous Futurisms in plural.
 +
* As a broad name and genre, it can overlap with many types of Indigenous Futurism around the world, though it initially began in North America and for some it has a North American Indigenous connotation. Since its emergence there have been many types of Indigenous Futurisms created and named, including anti-Futurisms.
 +
* Afrofuturism and Indigenous Futurism are regularly cited as primary inspirations for the rapidly expanding realm of [[Futurisms]], especially Alternative Futurisms, or Futurisms which are not White and Western, non-techno-Utopian, anti-capitalist and anti-colonial.
 +
* Grace was also co-editor of ''The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms'', released in 2023.

Names[edit]

  • Indigenous Futurism
  • Indigenous Futurisms
  • Can overlap with many subgenres of Indigenous, Cultural and Ethno Futurisms such as Adivasi Futurism, Tropical Futurism, First Nations Futurism, Inuit Futurism, Pasifikafuturism, Latinxfuturism, Amazofuturism, Amazigh Futurism and more
  • Can overlap with Afrofuturism and Africanfuturism

Origin[edit]

  • Named in 2012 by Grace L. Dillon, PhD and Anishinaabe scholar, with the release of Walking the Clouds: An Anthology of Indigenous Science Fiction.
  • Grace has stated that the works and genre existed before, just without a unifying name.
  • Grace prefers to call it Indigenous Futurisms in plural.
  • As a broad name and genre, it can overlap with many types of Indigenous Futurism around the world, though it initially began in North America and for some it has a North American Indigenous connotation. Since its emergence there have been many types of Indigenous Futurisms created and named, including anti-Futurisms.
  • Afrofuturism and Indigenous Futurism are regularly cited as primary inspirations for the rapidly expanding realm of Futurisms, especially Alternative Futurisms, or Futurisms which are not White and Western, non-techno-Utopian, anti-capitalist and anti-colonial.
  • Grace was also co-editor of The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms, released in 2023.
