This talk will begin by taking the audience on an exploration of Indigenous-led toxic tours as tools for connecting with and supporting goals of justice and resurgence for place and people alike. Drawing first from the case study of Tar Creek Toxic Tours in northeastern Oklahoma Indian Country and Bobbie's close collaboration with toxic tour leaders, these stories offer an important example of how the impacts of toxic assaults on land, water, air, humans and non-human beings alike continue to be navigated. These Indigenous-led toxic tours help to not only reimagine the possibilities of what tourism can be, but just as importantly offer a lens into Indigenous storytelling, worldviews and knowledge sharing. The latter part of this talk addresses the critically important insights offered by Indigenous stories, knowledges and resurgence paradigm in relation to tourism research and practice, as well as human relations to the living world.
