Accepted Paper:
What is an indigenous infrastructure?
Damian Castro
(Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador)
Mario Blaser
(Memorial University)
Paper Short Abstract:
What does it mean to apply the category of "indigenous" to infrastructures? What do we intend to signal with this, something that pertains/belongs to a given group of people defined through an ethnic label or something that makes possible certain kinds of relations to the land? If we go with the second possibility what avenues of exploration this opens?

What do we intend to signal with this, something that pertains/belongs to a given group of people defined through an ethnic label or something that makes possible certain kinds of relations to the land? If we go with the second possibility what avenues of exploration this opens? In this paper, we pursue such an avenue by looking at how transportation infrastructures related to resource extraction become also an infrastructure that allows the continuation of hunting practices in new conditions
