"Governing Indigenous Territories" illuminates a paradox of modern
indigenous lives. In recent decades, native peoples from Alaska to
Cameroon have sought and gained legal title to significant areas of
land, not as individuals or families but as large, collective
organizations. Obtaining these collective titles represents an
enormous accomplishment; it also creates dramatic changes. Once an
indigenous territory is legally established, other governments and
organizations expect it to act as a unified political entity,
making decisions on behalf of its population and managing those
living within its borders. A territorial government must mediate
between outsiders and a not-always-united population within a
context of constantly shifting global development priorities. The
people of Rukullakta, a large indigenous territory in Ecuador, have
struggled to enact sovereignty since the late 1960s. Drawing
broadly applicable lessons from their experiences of self-rule,
Juliet S. Erazo shows how collective titling produces new
expectations, obligations, and subjectivities within indigenous
territories.
