A Indigenous Resistance & Anarchism Reader

So, in 2024 I was collaborating with a friend to create a book that brought together texts by Indigenous Anarchsits and Indigenous Resistance fighters that could serve as an introduction to the praxis and history of Indigenous Resistance struggle and the Indigenous Anarchist movement(s) as its graveley under-discussed in this hellish country. For various reasons, this never came to be, sadly. It’s sat in a google drive folder for ages and it’d not helping anyone so here’s the texts we were going to include. There is no introduction or afterword, nor is there artwork to speak of. But someone out there might enjoy reading some of these.
