Lone Bull's Mistake: A Lodge Pole Chief Story, is the account of
Black Otter, a Pikuni (or 'Blackfoot') Indian cast out from his
tribe for breaking the hunting rules and forced to wander the
wilderness in search of redemption.
In the early nineteenth century, thousands of volunteers left
Ireland behind to join the fight for South American independence.
Lured by the promise of adventure, fortune, and the opportunity to
take a stand against colonialism, they braved the treacherous
Atlantic crossing to join the ranks of the Liberator, Simon
Bolivar, and became instrumental in helping oust the Spanish from
Colombia, Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Today, the
names of streets, towns, schools, and football teams on the
continent bear witness to their influence. But it was not just
during wars of independence that the Irish helped transform Spanish
America. Irish soldiers, engineers, and politicians, who had fled
Ireland to escape religious and political persecution in their
homeland, were responsible for changing the face of the Spanish
colonies in the Americas during the eighteenth century. They
included a chief minister of Spain, Richard Wall; a chief inspector
of the Spanish Army, Alexander O'Reilly; and the viceroy of Peru,
Ambrose O'Higgins. Whether telling the stories of armed
revolutionaries like Bernardo O'Higgins and James Rooke or
retracing the steps of trailblazing women like Eliza Lynch and
Camila O'Gorman, Paisanos revisits a forgotten chapter of Irish
history and, in so doing, reanimates the hopes, ambitions, ideals,
and romanticism that helped fashion the New World and sowed the
seeds of Ireland's revolutions to follow.
In The Requirement of Consultation with Indigenous Peoples in the
ILO, Maria Victoria Cabrera Ormaza examines the law-making and
interpretive practice of the International Labour Organization
(ILO) relating to indigenous peoples with a particular focus on the
consultation requirement established by Article 6 of ILO Convention
No. 169. Taking into account both the mandate and institutional
characteristics of the ILO, the author explains how the ILO
understands the notion of consultation with indigenous peoples and
outlines the flaws in its approach.
This book addresses the conceptualization and practice of
Indigenous research methodologies especially in Sami and North
European academic contexts. It examines the meaning of Sami
research and research methodologies, practical levels of doing
Indigenous research today in different contexts, as well as global
debates in Indigenous research. The contributors present
place-specific and relational Sami research approaches as well as
reciprocal methodological choices in Indigenous research in
North-South relationships. This edited volume is a result of a
research collaboration in four countries where Sami people live. By
taking the readers to diverse local discussions, the collection
emphasizes communal responsibility and care as a key in doing
Indigenous research. Contributors are: Rauni AEarela-Vihriala,
