Details

Based on nearly a decade of collaboration by leading Indigenous and non-Indigenous legal experts and researchers, Indigenous Peoples Inspiring Sustainable Development amplifies the guidance and wisdom of Indigenous knowledge and law, as reflected in First Nations treaties with countries. It explores the potential of these covenants to guide sustainable development opportunities in the context of evolving international and domestic legal regimes. Through comparative legal research and contextualized examples across diverse communities' and countries' accords, the volume uncovers whether and how the principles, provisions and practices of Indigenous treaties can strengthen efforts to address pressing social, environmental, and economic challenges. Through cutting-edge insights and stories, the authors analyse how implementation of these treaties could foster, rather than frustrate, efforts to advance the global Sustainable Development Goals by upholding the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

  • Provides insights from the treaties between Indigenous peoples and nation-states, and how these treaties can foster or frustrate the achievement of the global Sustainable Development Goals
  • Demonstrates that covenants of Indigenous peoples and partners can enshrine key principles of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and can be leveraged to advance more just and sustainable development
  • Explores how Indigenous leadership and empowerment can uplift communities in the spirit of mutual cooperation and self determination
