Topic: Internatl indigenous movements
This course offers an overview of the transnational social movements that led to the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007, and on the movements that continue to fight for its implementation. We will address the implications of UNDRIP especially regarding self-determination and sovereignty under International and Domestic Laws, natural resources development, access to land, reparations, and cultural rights. Through case studies, we will also address the systemic racism that Indigenous peoples face around the world, the impact of climate change on their livelihoods, and the numerous violence and challenges they face in living a life with dignity, and implementing and enjoying their rights.
