The 'stretched out' social relations that Indigenous peoples experience as they travel between cities and reserves can be seen as political in the following ways:
1. **They challenge the Canadian state's ordered spaces of ‘reserve’ and ‘city’.** - This perspective recognizes how the movement between these spaces disrupts the binary classifications imposed by the state, highlighting the complexities of identity and belonging.
2. **The connection of Indigenous people from multiple nations in cities creates a new kind of territorialization.** - This emphasizes the formation of new social networks and political alliances among Indigenous peoples that transcend traditional boundaries, suggesting a redefined sense of community and place.
While the other statements might contain elements of truth in certain contexts (e.g., urban Indigenous peoples navigating identity), the chosen answers more directly address the political implications of stretched social relations.
