They show the ways these efforts advance disciplinary theories, methodologies, and praxes. Chapters cover topics including librarianship, health programs, community organizing, knowledge recovery, youth programming, and gendered violence. Through their examples, the contributors show how they negotiate their peoples' knowledge systems with knowledge produced in Indigenous studies programs, demonstrating how they understand the relationship between their people, their nations, and academia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Editors J. Jeffery Clark and Elise Boxer propose and develop the term \u003ci\u003epractitioner-theorist\u003c\/i\u003e to describe how the contributors theorize and practice knowledge within and between their nations and academia. Because they live and exist in their community, these practitioner-theorists always consider how their thinking and actions benefit their people and nations. The practitioner-theorists of this volume envision and labor toward decolonial futures where Indigenous peoples and nations exist on their own terms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Randi Lynn Boucher-Giago \u003cbr\u003e Elise Boxer \u003cbr\u003e Shawn Brigman \u003cbr\u003e J.
