“…In many cases, support of extractive industries is driven by external forces, not as a result of Indigenous participatory processes and their own resource governance. In some cases, support is manufactured through participatory processes such as negotiating land claim settlements and IBAs (Cameron and Levitan, 2014;Kulchyski and Bernauer, 2014).…”

“…Recent resistance against oil and gas pipelines across Canada and North America has come from environmentalists, neighborhood organizations, and Indigenous groups. While perspectives between and within Indigenous nations have varied significantly, it is undeniable that Indigenous militants have been on the forefront resisting projects designed to facilitate ‘resource’ extraction and urban sprawl (Kulchyski and Bernauer, 2014; Mulkewich and Oddie, 2009; Preston, 2015). On the strategic political importance of pipelines, Awâsís Sâkíhítowín, an organizer against the Enbridge Line 9 pipeline project says:The neocolonial impacts of the tar sands disproportionately impact Indigenous communities, including the Aamjiwanaang, Mikisew Cree, Athabasca Chipewyan, Métis Nations, and more.…”

This article confronts debates about extended and concentrated urbanization with Indigenous claims to time and space. It does so in part by discussing the degree to which notions of extended and concentrated urbanization allow us to understand the dynamics of pipeline politics in Canada, notably Indigenous claims leveled at infrastructure projects. It argues that Lefebvre-inspired research is both promising and insufficient in this regard. Their promises can only be realized provided one considers urban research as mediation (between everyday life and the social order), contextualize urbanization as a product of non-linear histories through which ‘city’ and ‘non-city’ are transformed or reinstituted as socio-spatial forms, and take seriously imaginaries that may not only contest but also refuse the expansion of the urban field. Meeting these conditions is not possible without resorting to other, non-Lefebvrean approaches that help us understand the settler-colonial aspects of Canadian urban history and grasp the inter-national dimensions of Indigenous politics. Finally, opening up Lefebvre scholarship to considerations of settler colonialism is impossible without the distinct relational theories of time and space that inform radical Indigenous theories (and some pipeline struggles). Indigenous claims in or against urbanization thus represent a limit case of urban research.

“…Or are we still in a situation where mining and oil and gas developments are a source of even more problems? Researchers have pointed out that signifi cant problems remain with modern comprehensive land claims (Kulchyski & Bernauer, 2014;Nadasdy, 2003). Devolution of powers is problematic if the capacity to properly exercise these powers does not exist (G. .…”

Introduction: Dealing with Resource Development in Canada’s North

During the 1970s, southern Canada changed its perception of resource development in the Canadian North. At the beginning of the decade most observers outside of the Yukon and Northwest Territories, as well as many within the territories, saw resource development as something that was going to be of great benefi t to the North (Abele, 1987;Rea, 1968). The Northern Vision that had emerged in the 1950s (Diefenbaker, 1958) continued throughout the 1960s with varying degrees of enthusiasm. While some were critical of specifi c government policies, the general acceptance that continued mine and oil and gas development would be important for the region was almost universal among those whose voices were most heard on the subject (Lotz , 1970). This changed in the 1970s when the voices of the Indigenous peoples of the region fi rst started to be heard. The Berger Inquiry of that decade was probably the best known instance of people outside the region being able to hear what Indigenous communities thought about resource development in their region (Berger, 1977).These communities told listeners that resource development had not been kind to them. Mining and the nascent oil and gas industry had been devastating to their traditional livelihoods and to their cultures. They believed that under the conditions that existed at that time, future resource development would devastate the environment that they depended upon for their survival (Berger, 1977: xi). Assaults on their cultures from European culture would increase (xvii). In terms of economic benefi ts,
