Abstract	"Indigenomicon investigates the troubled relationship between settler colonialism, Indigeneity, and land through videogames. If videogames overwhelmingly represent landscapes as spaces to be conquered by players' movement through them, Jodi A. Byrd contends that Indigenous sovereignty and ways of being grounded to the land function as structuring absences within these games. Indigenous and Black subjects are treated as subjects from an uncanny past that disrupt the forward movement of the present within settler science fiction and horror.
