Abstract
The role of Indigenous peoples in the protection of the nature ‘commons’ has gained much traction worldwide. It has been suggested that Indigenous ‘environmental stewardship’ would significantly contribute to addressing the climate crisis and that ‘land tenure security’ is key to this aim. This paper critically explores these assumptions by highlighting the need for closer attention to the lived reality of Indigenous peoples and the state of the commons they inhabit, some of which have been taken over, fully or partly, by big capital, and exhibit a great difficulty to sustain life–as a result of broader capitalist trajectories.
