| Summary: | This essay makes meaning of Indigenous relationship with land and the embodied knowledges this relationship generates. Investigating historical and epistemological aspects of Anishinaabeg womxn’s relationship with the sugar bush, the groundwork for considering “relationship with land” as method and theory is laid out in six sections: research context, meanings of “land,” Anishinaabeg principles of relationship, Anishinaabeg relationship with land as a construct, researcher’s personal story of relationship with land, and use of creative voice to convey the ways embodied land-based knowledges in research shape analysis of archival research. Told in the first person, this essay builds from methodologies in Indigenous Ssudies and Indigenous womxn’s history. It contributes to the generation of new methods and theories that elucidate Indigenous womxn’s lives across historical periods.
