thinking about the different ways indigeneity is represented in utb…how both cam and warren are disconnected and isolated from their indigenous identities…how this has led to cam becoming a cop, essentially becoming a footsoldier for the same system that failed her + is continuing to fail these kids, and her journey to recognizing the limits of policing + limits of doing good within a fundamentally violent system…how for warren (irl, i know, but hopefully also represented in the last episode?) reconnecting w his métis identity was crucial to reaching accountability for his role in reena’s death via restorative justice circles…how indigenous practices might provide insight into how we can imagine accountability and justice outside of carcerality
