When researchers want to study indigenous populations they are
dependent upon the highly variable way in which states or
territories enumerate, categorise and differentiate indigenous
people. In this volume, anthropologists, historians, demographers
and sociologists have come together for the first time to examine
the historical and contemporary construct of indigenous people in a
number of fascinating geographical contexts around the world,
including Canada, the United States, Colombia, Russia, Scandinavia,
the Balkans and Australia. Using historical and demographical
evidence, the contributors explore the creation and validity of
categories for enumerating indigenous populations, the use and
misuse of ethnic markers, micro-demographic investigations, and
demographic databases, and thereby show how the situation varies
substantially between countries.
