Indigenous X examines Native Twitter as a defining moment in Indigenous digital life and as part of a longer history of Indigenous cultural production. Rather than treating the collapse of the platform as the end of the story, the book situates Indigenous engagement online as a set of relational practices that extend beyond any single technology.

This collection brings together essays, conversations, roundtables, and online texts by Indigenous scholars, writers, activists, and community members. It explores how Indigenous peoples have used social media to organize politically, share knowledge, sustain language and culture, debate ethics, and navigate visibility and surveillance. Topics include Indigenous movements, digital storytelling, language revitalization, research methods, and the responsibilities that govern Indigenous presence in digital spaces. Together, the chapters trace how Native Twitter functioned as a gathering place shaped by Indigenous protocols, histories, and relationships.

Rather than framing Twitter's transformation as an endpoint, Indigenous X understands Native Twitter as a historically specific formation whose practices continue to inform Indigenous digital worlds across platforms and into everyday life. The book offers a grounded framework for understanding Indigenous digital life without romanticizing technology or resistance, and will be useful to scholars, students, librarians, and readers interested in Indigenous studies, media studies, and contemporary social and political life.
