Abstract: Indigenous philosophies bring to life the idea that we are all part of an intergenerational journey. Each of us are born in the imaginations of generations past, with the responsibility to set the course for the journeys that follow. To embed this intergenerational thinking, Indigenous philosophies emphasize the importance of nourishing and regenerative relationships. This chapter explores some of these ideas and describes how they enhance relationships through regenerative practices, invest in relational repair, and enable the ongoing transformation of concepts and ideas toward new imaginaries. In so doing, the paper notes some of the ways that policies and processes can they function to realize intergenerational justice and ground an enduring sense of responsibility to its pursuit and realization.
