In this discussion I examine as an Indigenous analytic by examining two different sets of discourses about land.  The first is a collection of localized newspaper articles covering Minnesota Farm Bureau sesquicentennial and centennial award-winning family farms from 2000-2020.  The second set of discourses includes the project website and newspaper coverage of Makoce Ikikcupi (Land Recovery) Project in Granite Falls, Minnesota which solicits donations in order to buy land and re-establish Dakota land-based living practices.  Makoce Ikikcupi exposes and unsettles settler colonialism as well redirects this settler logic of land into a means of reparative justice. as analytic as part of the work of decolonizing communication studies.  My analysis reveals how the Makoce Ikikcupi Land Recovery project turns these settler land logics on themselves and marshals them into arguments in support of Indigenous land claims.
