Chapter 1: A History of Dispossession

Christopher Columbus’s arrival marked the beginning of a new era of genocidal violence on Native Americans. …. The legacy of dispossession continues today because tribal energy decisions can be overridden at any moment by the Secretary of the Interior. 

U.S. civil society’s orientation towards energy production is premised on the belief that humans have a right to possess and dispose of the land and its “resources” as they see fit.  The mode of relationality inherent within the paradigm of Settlerism is tantamount to ontological degradation and responsible for the genocide of indigenous populations.
Wilderson 10 (Frank, MFA @ Columbia University in Fiction Writing, Ph.D. @ University of California, Berkeley in Rhetoric/Film Studies, Prof @ UC Irvine, Red, White, and Black: Cinema and the Structure of U.S. Antagonisms, p176-178shree)  

"Savage" sovereignty qua land is … a struggle to re-Indigenize the land.
 

Genocidal assaults on indigenous populations set the foundation for serial policy failure in imperialist campaigns abroad—risks extinction.

It is especially important to …. civilized people than those who came to destroy.
 

An analysis of oppression that neglects a paradigmatic analysis of indigenous genocide has failed to come to prior material conditions—indigenous criticism is the first priority
Churchill 3 (Ward, ex-Prof of Ethnic Studies @ U of Colorado, Acts of Rebellion: The Ward Churchill Reader, p 263-5shree)

I am here, however, as … nation within its purported borders.

Thus, we affirm the resolution as a site of interrogation to analyze the historical paradigm of Settlerism that undergirds energy production in the United States.
Chapter 2:  Lay the West to Rest
We don’t defend the instrumental adoption of energy production—instead, we affirm the resolution as a locus to trace the lineage of political repugnancies in the U.S.
Churchill 3 (Ward, Acts of Rebellion: The Ward Churchill Reader, p. xv-xvii) PM

The question arises of how …. more substantial than that made on 9-1-1. 

Debate is key—repudiation of Euro-American imperialism in academia helps establish modes of knowledge production that file away at systems of domination

Ultimately, we have to consider the …. communicative and pedagogical practices.

The 1AC’s gesture towards impossible realism is productive—you should be skeptical of arguments refuting solvency for our method
Churchill 96 (Ward, ex-Prof of Ethnic Studies @ U of Colorado, “From a Native Son”, p.85-90shree)

The question which inevitably arises …. we all worked on attaining it?
 

While each indigenous collective has different histories and traditions, strategic essentialism is key—reinforcing the common experience of Eurocentric domination is key to prevent atomization that mystifies the violence of colonialism

The manifestation of indigenism in …. centuries of [Eurocentric] domination.9
