与鲨共舞！

本以为这会是一次轻松愉快的度假。这次到巴拿马首都拿骚的豪华旅行，是为了纪念《碧海追踪（Into the Blue）》DVD版的发行，正是这部电影让性感女星杰西卡·奥尔芭一夜成名。不过，当我坐在鲨鱼密布的大海上的小船边上，将穿着脚蹼的双脚伸出船舷时，身体却忍不住在小3号的潜水服中颤抖不止，脑子里不由自主地联想到了“印第安纳波利斯号”船员的悲惨遭遇——这艘美国战舰曾经运送过轰炸广岛的那枚核弹，但在其受到鱼雷攻击之后，全部1100名船员里只有316人幸免于难，而造成如此重大伤亡的并不是炸弹，大多数在5天之后获救的船员，都是从鲨鱼的口中幸存下来的。

Land,Language and Listening: The Transformations That Can Flow from Acknowledging Indigenous Land

We begin this paper by considering a practice that is not normally thought of as ‘environmental education’. That is, the land acknowledgement. In recent years, it has become standard for schools and other public institutions in British Columbia (BC) to acknowledge that they are situated on Indigenous land, especially when hosting events and presentations. And yet, as the paper continues, we are challenged to consider the greater implications these acknowledgements might bear for educators beyond simply a speaking of the words. In order to do this work, we focus on three strands—land, language and listening—which we suggest arise directly from careful consideration of the contents and goals of these acknowledgements. Drawing from Indigenous, philosophical, experiential and political sources, we explore the strands and posit that they may become important educational well-springs for transforming human and more-than-human relationships. We end this paper with a short discussion of some work currently under way in BC.
