This title was first published in 2003. One of the most dynamic areas of international law today concerns the rights and status of indigenous peoples. Within the contemporary discourse of international law, the term indigenous is now commonly used in association with a particular class of culturally distinctive groups together with the problems they face; problems that are legacies of historical patterns of invasion and colonization. The essays in this volume have been assembled to promote understanding about the relation of international law to the claims and aspirations that indigenous peoples have posited in the international arena today.
