In disentangling decolonization from the impulse to make it a species of a larger struggle, Tuck and Yang differentiate between an “indigenous politics” (which would integrate land with life) and a “western doctrine of liberation” (instrumentalizing land for life). The prioritization of land, however, problematizes the efficacy of the distinction, for, as Jared Sexton (2014) addresses, regardless of the approach to land (Indigenous or otherwise), the issue for critics of settler colonialism remains primarily a “problem of the terms of occupation”:

> “This frames the question of land as a question of sovereignty, wherein native sovereignty is a precondition for or element of the maintenance or renaissance of native ways of relating to the land” (Sexton 2014:5).

The danger is that, while admitting “denial of sovereignty imperils native ways of relating,” the configuration of sovereignty as a positive claim to land “does not thereby guarantee this way will be followed” (Sexton 2014:5). Tuck and Yang’s argument subordinates this risk to a problem they see to be much more fundamental and abiding: that recognizing life (which becomes a stand-in for symbolization) may not materialize (and usually actively impedes) the repatriation of land.

To return to the problem of *via negativa*, Tuck and Yang cannot positively address what Indigenous approaches to land are, without complicating how land is the ground upon which decolonization hinges. In this way, they succumb to the seduction described by Katherine McKittrick in the epigraph—“the idea that space ‘just is’” (2006:xi). Their critique of metaphor serves as a counterfactual to what they see to be the central problem of (and solution to) settler colonialism—land—even as this single focus undercuts what might differentiate settler sovereignty from native sovereignty. By making metaphor “bad,” Tuck and Yang illustrate a reinvestment in sovereignty as an empty vessel, whose substantial difference from property orientations becomes indiscernible, except in the fleeting accelerationist fantasy later posed by Tuck and McKenzie that “decolonization may be something the land does on its own behalf, even if humans are too deluded or delayed to make their own needed changes.”
