Between Indigenous and Settler Governance addresses the history,
current development and future of Indigenous self-governance in
four settler-colonial nations: Australia, Canada, New Zealand and
the United States. Bringing together emerging scholars and leaders
in the field of indigenous law and legal history, this collection
offers a long-term view of the legal, political and administrative
relationships between Indigenous collectivities and nation-states.
Placing historical contingency and complexity at the center of
analysis, the papers collected here examine in detail the process
by which settler states both dissolved indigenous jurisdictions and
left spaces - often unwittingly - for indigenous survival and
corporate recovery. They emphasise the promise and the limits of
modern opportunities for indigenous self-governance; whilst showing
how all the players in modern settler colonialism build on a shared
and multifaceted past. Indigenous tradition is not the only source
of the principles and practices of indigenous self-determination;
the essays in this book explore some ways that the legal,
philosophical and economic structures of settler colonial
liberalism have shaped opportunities for indigenous autonomy.
Between Indigenous and Settler Governance will interest all those
concerned with Indigenous peoples in settler-colonial nations.
