Visual practices of representing fossil fuel projects are entangled in diverse values and relations that often go underexplored. In Canada, visual media campaigns to aggressively push forward the fossil fuel industry not only relegate to obscurity indigenous values but mask evidence on health impacts as well as the aspirations of those most affected, including indigenous communities whose food sovereignty and stewardship relationship to the land continues to be affronted by oil pipeline expansion. The Tsleil-Waututh Nation, based at the terminal of the Trans Mountain Pipeline in Canada, has been at the forefront of struggles against the pipeline expansion. Contributing to geographical, environmental studies, and public health research grappling with the performativity of images, this article explores stories conveying health, environmental, and intergenerational justice concerns on indigenous territory. Adapting photovoice techniques, elders and youth illustrated how the environment has changed over time; impacts on sovereignty-both food sovereignty and more broadly; concepts of health, well-being and deep cultural connection with water; and visions for future relationships. We explore the importance of an intergenerational lens of connectedness to nature and sustainability, discussing visual storytelling not just as visual counter-narrative (to neocolonial extractivism) but also as an invitation into fundamentally different ways of seeing and interacting.
呈现化石燃料项目的视觉实践交织着各种价值观和关系，这些往往未被充分探讨。在加拿大，积极推动化石燃料行业的视觉媒体活动不仅使土著价值观变得模糊，还掩盖了有关健康影响的证据，以及那些受影响最大的人的愿望，包括土著社区，他们的粮食主权和对土地的管理关系继续受到石油管道扩张的挑战。特西尔-沃图特民族位于加拿大跨山输油管道的终点站，一直处于反对管道扩建的斗争前沿。本文为地理、环境研究和公共卫生研究做出了贡献，探讨了图像表现力方面的问题，探讨了在土著领土上传达健康、环境和代际正义问题的故事。通过采用摄影作品的技术，长者和青年们展示了环境随着时间的推移发生了怎样的变化；对主权的影响——包括粮食主权和更广泛的主权；健康、福祉和与水的深刻文化联系的概念；以及对未来关系的愿景。我们探讨了代际联系和可持续性的重要性，讨论视觉叙事不仅是视觉反叙事（反对新殖民主义的掠夺性开采），也是一种邀请，让人们以截然不同的方式看待和互动。
