Refusal, 2020, 2:05, is a small gesture of mine, acknowledging that one of the most powerful ways to stand against the settler state is by standing your ground as an Indigenous person, by not going away, and by taking up space. This video also speaks to my refusal of the desire of the settler state to classify my Inupiaq identity based on my appearance and other colonial modes of measurement that cannot fully speak to who I am. I am denying viewers the opportunity to classify who I am simply based on my appearance.
