Panel: 
Ecocriticism
Abstract: 

This paper explores the Indigenous “storywork” relationship between nature art of four Canadian visual artists, some of their viewers, and the vast Canadian land beneath their feet. I argue that this complex relationship contributes to social-ecological resilience in Canada.
