Resumen:

This article argues that necrocapitalism in Canada has created extractivist states of exception rooted in white-settler colonial legacies. These practices deny indigenous people's access to essential resources for their health and culture, disturb their means of subsistence, and dispossess them from their ancestral territories. This situation has derived in a conflict between locals and transnational corporations, where a wave of social resistance has sought recognition of indigeneity and self-determination. However, the Canadian Rule of Law Necropower has adapted legal discourses of indigeneity, human rights, and democracy to include indigenous peoples in a decision-making process that traps them in auto-dispossession. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
