Abstract
While the #LandBack movement has captured popular imagination, it remains unconvincing to many settlers who are the primary landowners in settler states. This article seeks to expand Indigenous studies understandings of the LandBack movement by looking at the strategic relations the Osage Nation used to get back 43,000 acres of land in 2016. Such strategic relations are mired in colonial and capitalist systems, but they are also how many Native nations, such as the Osage, are rebuilding their homelands. This article thus seeks to tell fuller stories of Indigenous strategies for survival and, ultimately, relationality.
