We will address how colonialism, globalization, and development impact the contemporary struggles for indigenous nations and peoples. These struggles include the fight for collective rights, autonomy, and territory. Among the themes explored are: definitions of indigenous identity, indigenous ways of knowing, indigenous sovereignty and self-determination, indigenous rights, and indigenous movements.
