DOWNLOAD EBOOKIndigenous peoples in Canada are striving for greater economic prosperity and political self-determination. Investigating specific legal, economic, and political practices, and including research from interviews with Indigenous political and business leaders, this collection seeks to provide insights grounded in lived experience. Covering such critical topics as economic justice and self-determination, and the barriers faced in pursuing each, Wise Practices sets out to understand the issues not in terms of sweeping empirical findings but through particular experiences of individuals and communities. The choice to focus on specific practices of law and governance is a conscious rejection of idealized theorizing about law and governance and represents an important step beyond the existing scholarship. This volume offers readers a broad scope of perspectives, incorporating contemporary thought on Indigenous law and legal orders, the impact of state law on Indigenous peoples, theories and practices of economic development, and grounded practices of governances. While the authors address a range of topics, each does so in a way that sheds light on how Indigenous practices of law and governance support the social and economic development of Indigenous peoples.

The Elusive Promise of Indigenous Development

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAround the world, indigenous peoples use international law to make claims for heritage, territory, and economic development. Karen Engle traces the history of these claims, considering the prevalence of particular legal frameworks and their costs and benefits for indigenous groups. Her vivid account highlights the dilemmas that accompany each legal strategy, as well as the persistent elusiveness of economic development for indigenous peoples. Focusing primarily on the Americas, Engle describes how cultural rights emerged over self-determination as the dominant framework for indigenous advocacy in the late twentieth century, bringing unfortunate, if unintended, consequences. Conceiving indigenous rights as cultural rights, Engle argues, has largely displaced or deferred many of the economic and political issues that initially motivated much indigenous advocacy. She contends that by asserting static, essentialized notions of indigenous culture, indigenous rights advocates have often made concessions that threaten to exclude many claimants, force others into norms of cultural cohesion, and limit indigenous economic, political, and territorial autonomy. Engle explores one use of the right to culture outside the context of indigenous rights, through a discussion of a 1993 Colombian law granting collective land title to certain Afro-descendant communities. Following the aspirations for and disappointments in this law, Engle cautions advocates for marginalized communities against learning the wrong lessons from the recent struggles of indigenous peoples at the international level.

Linking the Indigenous Sami People with Regional Development in Sweden

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Sami have lived for time immemorial in an area that today extends across the Kola Peninsula in Russia, northern Finland, northern Norway's coast and inland, and the northern half of Sweden. The Sami play an important role in these northern economies thanks to their use of land, their involvement in reindeer husbandry, agriculture/farming and food production, and connection with the region's tourism industry. However, in Sweden, as in the other states where the Sami live, the connections with regional development are often inconsistent and weak, and could do more to support the preservation and promotion of Sami culture and create new employment and business opportunities. This study, together with the OECD's broader thematic work on this topic, provides actionable recommendations on how to better include the Sami and other Indigenous Peoples in regional development strategies, learning from and incorporating their own perspectives on sustainable development in the process.
Indigenous Rights to Development, Socio-Economic Rights, and Rights for Groups with Vulnerabilities

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis chapter is focused on the challenges and implications of Articles 20(1), 21, 22, 24, and 44 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP; the Declaration). These provisions are centered on: the economic, social, and cultural (ESC) rights of indigenous peoples, (with a particular focus on the right to health); their right to development; the rights of those indigenous individuals and groups who are particularly vulnerable, including women and children, and again with a particular focus on women's rights to be free from violence. The provisions highlight the evolving place of indigenous rights within the overall framework of international law and international human rights. The chapter begins, in Part IA, by providing a short summary of the content of the principles. Part IB identifies the relevance and importance of the Articles, drawing attention to the legal and policy framework within which their legal and broader political meaning must be understood. This context includes the longstanding issues of poverty and marginalization that remain entrenched in many indigenous communities, and the emerging architecture of international poverty law that is recently developing through more robust understandings of the intersections between economic, social and cultural rights, the right to development, and the rights of specific vulnerable groups. This architecture includes relevant provisions of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs; previously known as the Millennium Development Goals, or MDGs) which were adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2015. Part II then analyses the pre-existing legal standards on economic social and cultural rights, the right to development, and rights for vulnerable groups. We then turn, in Part III, to the drafting history of the UNDRIP provisions discussed here, in order to illuminate better the meaning of the final provisions. Part IV returns to the final text of the provisions, and, proceeding issue by issue, outlines their position within, or contribution to, the legal landscape on indigenous and human rights. Finally, Part V concludes the chapter's analysis.
