Book Launch: Indivisible: Indigenous Human Rights

November 26, 2014

Indigenous rights are generally conceptualized and advocated separately from the human rights framework. The contributors to this book argue that Indigenous rights are human rights and the fundamental human rights of Indigenous people cannot be protected without the inclusion of their Indigenous rights, which are suppressed and oppressed by the forces of racism and colonialism. The authors show that settler states such as Canada persist in violating and failing to acknowledge Indigenous human rights. Furthermore, settler states are obligated to respect and animate these rights, despite the evident tensions in political and economic interests between elite capitalists, settler citizens and Indigenous peoples.
