'Indigenous researchers often articulate relationality as a measure to maintain transparency and accountability to other Indigenous peoples, and as a direct challenge to the disconnected colonial writings about us, by others (Kovach; Dudgeon and Bray). My own relationality statement for this article asserts my belonging and investment as a Wiradjuri, transgender/non-binary person, a Professor of Indigenous Studies, a sound artist and performer, and as someone with a large family who I care for and who trace a thousand generations of connection to land and life across the continent of "so-called Australia" (Day 367). In the context of an article focused on queer Indigenous representation, asserting my broader kinship responsibilities to queer Indigenous Mob (TallBear 5-15; Carlson et al. 23) also flags intent to create space that begins with us and ends with a challenge to others to represent.
