Unfortunately I didn't manage to take enough notes while listening to this episode, but these are the highlights from what I remember:
Notes
-
Abraham Lincolonoversaw one of the largest land-grabs of Native American lands in US history
-
Civil War veterans waged war with Native peoples at previously unprecedented rates
-
The Civil Warwas only won because, as W. E. B. Du Boissaid, slaves in the south essentially went on strike
-
Native Americans, like any other people under capitalism have a possibility of being subsumed into the capitalist system
-
There are Native peoples who have turned to extractive resources as a means of using it as a cudgel against their oppressors. They are often forced into resource extraction and they never see the wealth of their labor
-
Consider Bolivia and their lithium extraction
-
-
Native Americans who turn to coal extraction sometimes don't even have power for their communities
-
-
Nick says that Native American populations have high amounts of class consciousness due to the oppression they've faced
-
Nick says that, whatever form decolonization takes, it cannot involve the Westphalia model of nation states
-
He also believes it must involve moving beyond capitalism
