UNDRIP: Right Relationships, Right Relatedness

In this, our 15th volume you will find conversations directly tied to and exploring the UNDRIP during our 14th annual symposium. These papers and the conversations that surrounded them were efforts to explore not just the content of the declaration, but what it might look like for it to be implemented and lived out in a day-to-day basis. You’ll also note in these pages that the signatories to the declaration were sometimes reluctant, even skeptical toward it. This too captures the ongoing challenge of Indigenous Peoples in the globe seeking to assert themselves as unique peoples, in unique lands, with unique histories.
