Abstract: Education researchers have increasingly used speculative design approaches to elevate the transformative agency of local stakeholders to re-mediate oppressive systems constituting harmful contexts of human learning and development. To explicitly redress racism, ableism, and other forms of interlocking oppression, the Indigenous Learning Lab was implemented in a rural high school struggling with persistent racial injustice in school discipline, profoundly affecting American Indian students and families. The Learning Lab methodology is a community-led systemic design process that leveraged local school community members' histories, cultural assets, and sociopolitical future imaginations toward transformative knowledge production. This article examines how school community members collectively engaged in speculative future-making, amplifying their historicity, everyday resistance, cultural assets, and sociopolitical future imaginations to design a decolonizing, inclusive support system to dismantle a rural high school's oppressive settler-colonial discipline system.
