Especially interested in the interplay of territoriality, body, dispossession, extractivism and capitalism
Brenda Bhandar's book Colonial Lives of Property; Sarah Keenan's Subversive property: Law and the Production of Spaces of Belonging; and Nick Blomley's work.
Definitely the previous suggestion of Sarah Keenan's book and Nick Blomley's work over the past few decades are the most central authors to answer your question.
My own interests overlap mostly on the critical, decolonial, property and territory aspects of your question.
Additional references could include contributions by Louise Crabtree analysing property and indigeneity in Australia and Jacquelyn Jampolsky on Indigenous peoples and property in North America.
More recently Naama Blatman-Thomas both alone and in conjunction with Libby Porter has some very interesting comparisons of Indigenous peoples in Australia and Israel/Palestine.
If you are interested in Latin America the social function of property could be a very interesting legal doctrine to read about. There are lots of things being written about property struggles in Brazil if you can read Portuguese. Lucy Earle has a good introductory piece about the SFP and squatting movements in Sao Paulo in English.
A very different direction would be Glen Coulthard's book Red Skin White Masks on Indigenous decolonial struggles in Canada.
On territory, Clare, Habermehl & Mason-Deese have a great paper on territories in contestation in Latin America. And the French authors Claude Raffestin and Guy Di Meo on how conflicts generate territories. Brazilian Rogerio Haesbaert, again, if you can read Portuguese.
The capitalism and extraction and body could be answered by Mapuche authors like Claudio Alvarado Lincopi and others from the Comunidad de Historia Mapuche, but you'd have to read in Spanish.
As you can see, the list goes on and on ...
"Theft Is Property!: Dispossession and Critical Theory (Radical Américas)" is a recent work that you may be interested since it analyses arguments by Indigenous scholars and activists from the nineteenth century to the present.
