Summary
In charting how sovereignty has been defined in Indigenous literary studies, this chapter outlines some of the recent debates around the political and cultural meanings of the term. Through close readings of recent poems by Layli Long Soldier and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, this chapter further argues that resurgent Indigenous futures depend upon relationalities that resist state models of political sovereignty.
