Much previous literature on sacred natural sites has been written
from a non-indigenous perspective. In contrast, this book
facilitates a greater self-expression of indigenous perspectives
regarding treatment of the sacred and its protection and governance
in the face of threats from various forms of natural resource
exploitation and development. It provides indigenous custodians the
opportunity to explain how they view and treat the sacred through a
written account that is available to a global audience. It thus
illuminates similarities and differences of both definitions,
interpretations and governance approaches regarding sacred natural
phenomena and their conservation. The volume presents an
international range of case studies, from the recent controversy of
pipeline construction at Standing Rock, a sacred site for the Sioux
people spanning North and South Dakota, to others located in
Australia, Canada, East Timor, Hawaii, India, Mexico, Myanmar,
Nigeria and the Philippines. Each chapter includes an analytical
introduction and conclusion written by the editors to identify
common themes, unique insights and key messages. The book is
therefore a valuable teaching resource for students of indigenous
studies, anthropology, religion, heritage, human rights and law,
nature conservation and environmental protection. It will also be
of great interest to professionals and NGOs concerned with nature
and heritage conservation.
