Marx for Primitives
This analysis of Karl Marx centers one of his earliest political writings, the 1842 commentary on the Rhine Province Assembly debate on the Law on Thefts of Wood, to show an anthropological thread in his writings and this thread’s relevance to the struggles of Indigenous gathering and hunting peoples in the contemporary historical conjuncture. This “bush Marx” or “Marx for primitives” consistently engaged in a deep structural linguistic subversio…
What Is Lost and What Is Gained
In 2014, Peter Kulchyski and Ramona Neckoway began touring hydro-impacted Ininew communities. This now annual hydro tour is an intense seven-day circuit filled with long drives, boat tours, discussion, revelation, outrage, and—above all—kindness and generosity. Relationships on the hydro tour involve engagement with bush dispositions, with ways of life developed in and through an engagement with the temporalities, spatialities, subjectivities, la…
Bush/revolution
This article argues that bush people deserve greater attention in revolutionary thought and action, both for the strategic value of their struggles against extraction at capital’s periphery and the emancipatory social values they continue to embody. But bush struggles cannot be borrowed for other purposes: the agenda of bush people for respect and cultural survival must respected in its own right
From Wallmapu to Nunatsiavut
Indigenous peoples of the Americas are on the frontlines of resistance to the environmental and social costs of the unthinking drive for capital accumulation. From the United States and Canada to Brazil and Chile, that resistance has been met by state surveillance, repression, and criminalization.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
Hunting Theories
Indigenous peoples are, in the current historical conjuncture, leading the opposition to the capitalist state in Canada. The specific features of Indigenous cultures, history and struggles demand of historical materialism a regional theory that deploys existing concepts and categories in reinvigorated and sometimes different ways. Glen Coulthard’s Red Skin, White Masks makes a critically important contribution to this project by offering a creati…
The Incalculable Weight of Small Numbers
This article outlines Poplar River First Nation's attempt to designate their traditional trapline territory as part of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's world heritage site nomination called Pimachiowin Aki. Along with other neighbouring Anishinaabeg First Nations involved in this First Nation-led project, Poplar River is using the global infrastructure to meet local needs. Their endeavour to establish permanent protectio…

Modern Treaties, Extraction, and Imperialism in Canada’s Indigenous North
Drawing on case studies from Nunavut and Denendeh (Northwest Territories), we argue that the institutions created by modern treaties are poorly positioned to represent the interests of Indigenous hunters. These capital/land-holding institutions have objective interests in the opportunities for economic growth provided by extractive projects. The debates around uranium mining in Nunavut and a natural gas pipeline in Denendeh demonstrate how land c…
‘Speaking the Strong Words’
This essay examines performative elements in northern Dene political assemblies and meetings in Canada. Of special interest are the politics of speech and particularly the use of speech to draw together or enact or perform contemporary indigenous community. The critical site of interrogation is a key strategic meeting that took place in 2006 between two Kascho'got'ine communities in the Sahtu region of the Northwest Territories in order to consid…
Like the Sound of a Drum
Part ethnography, part narrative, Like the Sound of a Drum is evocative, confrontational, and poetic. For many years, Peter Kulchyski has travelled to the north, where he has sat in on community meetings, interviewed elders and Aboriginal politicians, and participated in daily life. In Like the Sound of a Drum he looks as three northern communities — Fort Simpson and Fort Good Hope in Denendeh and Pangnirtung in Nunavut — and their strategies for…

An Essay Concerning Aboriginal Self-Government in Denendeh and Nunavut
From Appropriation to Subversion
In the coming century, cultural products such as images, authentic artifacts, and perhaps even ceremonies and spiritual events, will likely be very widely circulated commodities. So-called authentic cultural products, which may only identify those that stem from a different cultural source than the dominant, established order, will likely be among the most valuable commodities. In this context, a strategic reassessment of Aboriginal cultural prod…

et us, for moment, obey Sahlins's injunction to consider the 'hidden meaning' of this inscription. As Sahlins points out in Islands of History the original inhabitants of Hawaii had developed social system organized around a political economy of love (19). Sex and beauty were coinage in the exchanges that constituted wealth and power.1 The language and poetry of the islanders reflected (and reflected on) this: sexual puns were favored exchange. A…
