ABSTRACT
In the Canadian context, Indigenous peoples have become increasingly vocal in their opposition to capitalism-as-usual, stressing that its repercussions have not only been profoundly harmful to their well-being but also go hand-in-hand with environmental destruction. This chapter examines the conjunction between Indigenous collectivities, their economic expression in the aftermath of land claims, and the sets of values that are at the root of Indigenous economies. It explores debates about how citizenship has been configured in response to capitalist relations and assesses the degree to which, in spite of these configurations, Indigenous peoples have been able to adopt forms of "insurgent citizenship", through which they have appropriated some aspects of citizenship whilst resisting others. Using Inuit as an example, it interrogates whether the values that inform their economies actually shape how citizenship in their polities is expressed and performed.
