Pursuing the Path of Indigenization in the Era of Emergent International Law Governing the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
Year: 2002
Type: article
Abstract: This Article argues that the meaningful revitalization of Indigenous\nnations depends upon engaging in a process of indigenization, the active\npursuit of a distinct developmental path, culture, and identity.\nSignificant barriers to indigenization include not only political, economic,\nand social obstacles, but also psychological reliance upon the colonizing\nnation, the inability to recall the memory of the colonization process upon\none's nation, and the pursuit of remedies to colonization that have the\npractical effect of promoting rather than alleviating its impact. In light of\nthese barriers, the Article critically examines the extent to which\nindigenization may be assisted or undermined by efforts to develop\ninternational treaty law governing the rights of Indigenous peoples.
