ABSTRACT
Africans, globally, have intensified research and publications within and outside western capital markets’ domination, to inscribe subjectivity/subjecthood in interpretations of indigeneity. This chapter is divided into two parts: African Indigenous theories; and theorizing the people relationship to the land that the people grew up in and the new awakened responsibility to Turtle Island and her people. It discusses how the people can heal and how to take responsibility of the land as they engage in a reconciliatory process through Black women's standpoint. Although the insistence upon the re-imagining and re-positioning of difference as critical political discourse draws strength from the important work of critical theorizing, the author, nevertheless, further want to insist upon an Indigenous knowledge theoretical framework that enunciates itself in the talk of land, responsibility, and reconciliation. The aspiration for land takes on a far deeper meaning beyond colonized compliance, into the realm of defying racialized capitalism.
