Surveys Indigenous efforts toward decolonization and self-determination in the Asia-Pacific since the 1970s and their relationship to global Indigenous movements. Considers how Asian Indigeneities, movements for autonomy and Land/Water relations are shaped by storytelling, art, gender, politics, sociality and environmental health. Focusing on histories of mobility and diaspora, a special emphasis is placed on contrasts with Indigeneity in the Americas.
