Abstract

•Home is a combination of material resources, social construction, and embodied experiences.•By considering home in resource-extractive contexts, we gain insight into patterns of response to economic change.•Stability of home relies on non-economic narratives, since resource extraction was notoriously unstable.•Support for new mining motivated by residents’ desire for renewed sense of ‘home,’ beyond hopes for direct employment.
