Avowing settler status positions settler scholars to join in storying less harmful futures for the discipline. This paper describes the author's journey toward continually avowing white settlerness through the Northern Shoshoni word daiboo' in the fulsomeness of its meanings, which include but also go beyond "white person," to help enact settler harm reduction. The author hopes that by sharing their story of coming to see themself as daiboo' participates in clearing a path for others interested in practicing settler harm reduction through the cultural rhetorics methodology of storying and/or by taking up some of the suggestions offered at the end.
