Indigenous Peoples and the Struggle for Self-determination

Undergraduate

explores, in a Pan-American comparative perspective, the experiences of Indigenous peoples inhabiting the nation-states that emerged out of the European settlements. The loss of self-determination and struggles to regain it are shared experiences but the routes followed historically and in the present are not the same. Understanding Indigenous Peoples’ diverse experiences of, and struggles against, colonialism will enable the alliances needed for more just and sustainable societies.
