Abstract

Drawing on Lorca's concept of the duende as the source of creativity, this essay describes inventiveness and innovation in a range of languaging practices that resist injustice, heal its wounds, and lead to enacted thrivance in Indigenous contexts. Three diverse examples are described in order to demonstrate just ways of creative languaging that renew agentive identities, fuel innovation, generate vibrant expressions of heart and spirit, counter and critique oppression, and establish community solidarity in the face of settler colonialism.
