Dominant narratives that dehumanize Indigenous peoples are circulating in rural New York state communities. Taking a dialogical interview approach, I first craft and then work with the stories of 11 White anti-racist allies living in the North Country of New York state. Through a socio-narratology method I speak with their stories, which contain rich details of breaking through their socialization into anti-Black and anti-Indigenous norms. Most research on White people confronting White supremacy focuses on people living in urban areas and acting in solidarity with Black communities. Positioning myself as an emerging activist scholar, I draw from Indigenous scholarship, development theorists, and movement intellectuals, as well as my own genesis stories as an aspiring ally, to connect questions of colonialism, Land, social movements, and memory to participant ally genesis stories. In dialogue with the stories shared with me, I detail participant breakthroughs and their relationship to place, and how travel, creativity through music and the arts, and stories themselves play a role in many of these threshold experiences, as do the pronouncements by Black and Indigenous peoples. Special features of rurality can have the same effect as a strong movement network when it comes to risk-taking. Dialogue across these sightings makes visible extrapolating allyship and its limits when settlers seek solidarity with Indigenous-led movements. These stories illuminate how past commitments to other social movements, as well as attributes of living in a rural landscape, can counter these limits, established in part by secluded social networks.
