The legacies of borders are far-reaching for Indigenous Peoples.
This collection offers new ways of understanding borders by
departing from statist approaches to territoriality. Bringing
together the fields of border studies, human rights, international
relations, and Indigenous studies, it features a wide range of
voices from across academia, public policy, and civil society. They
explore the profound and varying impacts of borders on Indigenous
Peoples around the world and the ways borders are challenged and
worked around. From Bangladesh’s colonially imposed militarized
borders to resource extraction in the Russian Arctic and along the
Colombia-Ecuador border to the transportation of toxic pesticides
from the United States to Mexico, the essays examine sovereignty,
power, and the obstruction to Indigenous rights and
self-determination as well as globalization and the economic
impacts of borders. Indigenous Peoples and Borders proposes future
action that is informed by Indigenous Peoples’ voices, needs, and
advocacy. Contributors. Tone Bleie, Andrea Carmen, Jacqueline
Gillis, Rauna Kuokkanen, Elifuraha Laltaika, Sheryl Lightfoot,
David Bruce MacDonald, Toa Elisa Maldonado Ruiz, Binalakshmi
“Bina” Nepram, Melissa Z. Patel, Manoel B. do Prado Junior,
Hana Shams Ahmed, Elsa Stamatopoulou, Liubov Suliandziga, Rodion
Sulyandziga, Yifat Susskind, Erika M. Yamada

systems established over the past 50 years in terms of their
effectiveness for the victims of human rights violations, and
provides future directions for the promotion and protection of
human rights.
