Abstract
Eastern white pines have grown through a temporal and physical landscape shaped by the violence of settler colonialism and white supremacy. Settlers have lived and shaped this history, leveraging human-tree relationships in the fabric of revolution, capital, wealth accumulation, industry, conservation, and death that influence today’s political ecology. Through a historical and autoethnographic approach, I (Emily) position myself and case studies of three ancestors in relation to white pines in northern “New England,” drawing from multiple disciplines to gather human, tree, and human-tree perspectives on bodies, relationship, and grief through time.
