Abstract

In this paper, we intervene in tourism's entanglement with colonialism by presenting a decolonizing settler story in tourism. This story is constructed from narrative research with the Łutsel K'e Dene First Nation concerning their connections to the Thelon River watershed in sub-Arctic Canada, a landscape with high appeal among wilderness tourists. We use the story to open up possibilities for decolonization, particularly in terms of Settler's taking responsibility for colonial resistance, learning from Indigenous peoples, and shedding desires and entitlements to know. Informed by a range of settler colonial, Indigenous, and tourism literatures, we argue that this and other stories are needed to productively disrupt settler colonialism and construct decolonizing space in tourism and tourism research.
