This article takes a social reproduction approach to thinking through the work of tending to and reproducing Indigenous modes of life in the context of settler colonial Canada. The analysis in this article is informed by interviews, talking circles, and arts-based workshops with Indigenous youth in the Northwest Territories, Canada; it is grounded in discussions of their labors as conditioned to reproduce the settler political economy while they simultaneously organize and labor against and beyond it. Across these discussions, ontological and material commitments to the land emerged as a central theme. An attention to the labors of Indigenous life-making brings a focus to the role of the land in processes of social reproduction, including processes of daily provisioning, intergenerational learning, and enacting responsibilities and ethical commitments. How might social reproduction scholarship learn from and build analysis through engagement with land-based Indigenous knowledges and Indigenous feminisms?
