Consent, trust, diplomacy and redundancy make interdependence able to achieve outcomes

Evidence

In the example of wild rice, the signifi cance I want to highlight involves not just what types of relationships are or were prevalent. Th e types of relationships being described are reciprocal responsibilities (as opposed to rights, duties, contracts etc.). I want to focus on the qualities of the responsibilities that have developed over time, which foster interdependence. Th ese qualities, including consent, diplomacy, trust, and redundancy, facilitate interdependence in ways that make it possible for the types of relationships to actually have the capacities to achieve social outcomes, including freedom, sustainability, cultural integrity, economic vitality, and so on. — Kyle Whyte, Settler Colonialism, Ecology, and…, 47
