Palestinians and Native Peoples are Comrades: The Political Economy of Oil and Indigenous/Palestinian Solidarity

This paper explores a materialist ethic of solidarity between the Dene of the Northwest Territories (Canada) and the people of Palestine via a political economy of oil and extractivism. It looks at the 1973 Oil Crisis’ origins and effects, examining Indigenous resistance to extractivism spanning from Palestine and the Middle East to the proposed Mackenzie Valley Pipeline in the Canadian North.
