For indigenous groups, the drive to death from the settler colonial state is persistent and starts at birth with the Child. Viewing birth as the beginning point of the death drive that limits indigenous futures raises questions of how the Child can push back against this settler colonial desire to eliminate. In turn, it opens doors to think differently about how the Child and birth spaces affect indigenous sovereignty and what this sovereignty could look like. This research will argue that the future Child can be a subversive tool when viewed through the lens of indigenous futurisms. By decolonizing futurity, the Child enables the imagining of indigenous futures where alternative types of sovereignty can develop. These alternative types of indigenous sovereignty are fostered by incorporating traditional practices and beliefs into spaces of freedom. In turn, this creates sovereignty as affect and promotes the process of feeling citizenship within the structure of a “nested” sovereignty.
