The task then, for practicing decolonization and anti-capitalism, is to relearn diverse cultural knowledges that are rooted in land relationships.

This relearning is just not possible under capitalism—which both destroys land relations and also produces, in Armstrong’s words, “people-to-be” who have forgotten how to fully be people.
