In Everything Ancient Was Once New, Emalani Case explores
Indigenous persistence through the concept of Kahiki, a term that
is at once both an ancestral homeland for Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiians)
and the knowledge that there is life to be found beyond Hawai'i's
shores. It is therefore both a symbol of ancestral connection and
the potential that comes with remembering and acting upon that
connection. Tracing physical, historical, intellectual, and
spiritual journeys to and from Kahiki, Emalani frames it as a place
of refuge and sanctuary, a place where ancient knowledge can
constantly be made anew. It is in Kahiki, she argues, and in the
sanctuary it creates, that today's Kanaka Maoli can find safety and
reprieve from the continued onslaught of settler colonial violence,
while also confronting some of the often uncomfortable and
challenging realities of being Indigenous in Hawai'i, in the
Pacific, and in the world. Each chapter of the book engages with
Kahiki as a shifting term, employed by Kanaka Maoli to explain
their lives and experiences to themselves at different points in
history. In doing so, Everything Ancient Was Once New proposes and
argues for reactivated and reinvigorated engagements with Kahiki,
each supporting ongoing work aimed at decolonizing physical and
ideological spaces, and reconnecting Kanaka Maoli to other peoples
and places in the Pacific region and beyond in ways that are both
purposeful and meaningful. In the book, Kahiki is therefore traced
through pivotal moments in history and critical moments in
contemporary times, explaining that while not always mentioned by
name, the idea of Kahiki was, and is, always full of potential. In
writing that is both personal and theoretical, Emalani weaves the
past and the present together, reflecting on ancient concepts and
their continued relevance in movements to protect lands, waters,
and oceans; to fight for social justice; to reexamine our
responsibilities and obligations to each other across the Pacific
region; and to open space for continued dialogue on what it means
to be Indigenous both when at home and when away. Combining
personal narrative and reflection with research and critical
analysis, Everything Ancient Was Once New journeys to and from
Kahiki, the sanctuary for reflection, deep learning, and continued
dreaming with the past, in the present, and far into the future.
A collection of Native American tales and myths focusing on the relationship between man and nature.

Although Native Americans have been subjugated by every American
government since The Founding, they have persevered and, in some
cases, thrived. What explains the existence of separate,
semi-sovereign nations within the larger American nation? In large
part it has been victories won at the Supreme Court that have
preserved the opportunity for Native Americans to 'make their own
laws and be ruled by them.' The Supreme Court could have gone
further, creating truly sovereign nations with whom the United
States could have negotiated on an equal basis. The Supreme Court
could also have done away with tribes and tribalism with the stroke
of a pen. Instead, the Court set a compromise course, declaring
tribes not fully sovereign but also something far more than a mere
social club. This book describes several of the most famous Supreme
Court cases impacting the course of Native American history. The
author provides an analysis of canonical American Indian Law cases
with historical and legal context and brings a fresh perspective to
the issues. Law students, policy makers and judges looking for an
introduction to American Indian Law will gain an understanding of
this complicated history. This exploration will also appeal to
academics interested in a new perspective on old and current cases.

The thoroughly updated third edition of Strong Helpers' Teachings
skillfully illustrates the importance of Indigenous knowledges in
the human services. Making space for the voices of many Indigenous
and non-Indigenous scholars, practitioners, and service users,
Cyndy Baskin's text models possible pathways toward relationship
building and allyship.With practical examples and case studies,
Baskin places Indigenous perspectives at the centre of the social
work disciplines and covers topics such as spirituality, research,
justice, and healing. Robust updates include new chapters on
decolonization and reconciliation, as well as expanded content on
holistic healing implementation, skill building, land-based
practice, and child welfare. With concise theoretical content,
illustrative practical applications, rich pedagogical features, and
a focus on centering Indigenous worldviews, knowledge, and helping
practices, this text is foundational for educators, practitioners,
and students of human services, social work, child and youth care,
and more.
There are ongoing debates on the concepts surrounding the roles of
Indigenous people in transforming the entrepreneurial landscape to
promote socio-economic development. Arguably, the culture and ways
of our lives, in the context of entrepreneurship, have a role in
influencing social economic development. The ideals between the
entrepreneurial practice of Indigenous people and their culture are
somewhat commensal towards sustainable growth and development. The
practice of Indigenous and cultural entrepreneurship is embedded in
historical findings. Context, Policy, and Practices in Indigenous
and Cultural Entrepreneurship provides insights into the policy,
culture, and practice that influence the impact of local and
Indigenous entrepreneurs within communities which transcends to
socio-economic development. This is critical as the knowledge
gained from our entrepreneurial diversity can provide a platform to
reduce social ills as a result of unemployment and give a sense of
belonging within the social context. Covering key topics such as
government policy, entrepreneurial education, information
technology, and trade, this premier reference source is ideal for
policymakers, entrepreneurs, business owners, managers, scholars,
researchers, academicians, instructors, and students.
The Land Is Our History tells the story of indigenous legal
activism at a critical political and cultural juncture in
Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. In the late 1960s, indigenous
activists protested assimilation policies and the usurpation of
their lands as a new mining boom took off, radically threatening
their collective identities. Often excluded from legal recourse in
the past, indigenous leaders took their claims to court with
remarkable results. For the first time, their distinctive histories
were admitted as evidence of their rights. Miranda Johnson examines
how indigenous peoples advocated for themselves in courts and
commissions of inquiry between the early 1970s to the mid-1990s,
chronicling an extraordinary and overlooked history in which
virtually disenfranchised peoples forced powerful settler
democracies to reckon with their demands. Based on extensive
archival research and interviews with leading participants, The
Land Is Our History brings to the fore complex and rich discussions
among activists, lawyers, anthropologists, judges, and others in
the context of legal cases in far-flung communities dealing with
rights, history, and identity. The effects of these debates were
unexpectedly wide-ranging. By asserting that they were the first
peoples of the land, indigenous leaders compelled the powerful
settler states that surrounded them to negotiate their rights and
status. Fracturing national myths and making new stories of origin
necessary, indigenous peoples' claims challenged settler societies
to rethink their sense of belonging.
