Territory is the central field of engagement between First Nations and the state and corporate actors that organize resource extraction projects. The territories in play, however, are not singular. They have multiple dimensions whose shape and significance vary enormously and indeed, are often in opposition.
For Indigenous peoples these are homelands, spaces of living relations. For states and capital they are coded as unproductive wastelands whose only possible path to development depends on the extraction of their resources. Given the centrality of territory in resource conflicts it is of little surprise that cartography is one of the privileged representational technologies in play.
