Summary

Inspired by Susan Leigh Foster’s insight that bodies are “articulate matter,” Chapter 5 engages with tactics of movement and stillness in Indigenous activism that illuminate contemporary Indigenous coalitions of resistance and solidarity. I take up Foster’s insights to describe the signifying power of Indigenous demonstrations in Idle No More, at the Elsipogtog blockade, and in the Healing Walk. Through these interventions in public spaces and the sacrifice zones of settler civilization, Indigenous demonstrations articulate continuance in the center of the violence of climate disruption and global capital.
