INDIGENOUS NATIONS AND
MODERN STATES

Indigenous peoples throughout the world tenaciously defend their lands, cultures, and their lives with resilience and determination. They have done so generation after generation. These are peoples who make up bedrock nations throughout the world in whose territories the United Nations says 80 percent of the worlds life sustaining biodiversity remains. Once thought of as remnants of a human past that would soon disappear in the fog of history, indigenous peoplesas we now refer to themhave in the last generation emerged as new political actors in global, regional, and local debates. As countries struggle with economic collapse, terrorism, and global warming indigenous peoples demand a place at the table to decide policy about energy, boundaries, traditional knowledge, climate change, intellectual property, land, environment, clean water, education, war, terrorism, health, and the role of democracy in society.

In this volume Rudolph C. Rser describes how indigenous peoples transformed themselves from anthropological curiosities into politically influential voices in domestic and international deliberations affecting everyone on the planet. He reveals in documentary detail how, since the 1970s, indigenous peoples politically formed governing authorities over peoples, territories, and resources raising important questions and offering new solutions to profound challenges to human life.

Rudolph C. Rser sits on the faculty of the School of Public Service Leadership at Capella University, and is an adjunct professor of History and Culture at the Union Institute and University. He is a 2011 Fulbright Scholar, Chair of the Center for World Indigenous Studies, and the Editor in Chief of the Fourth World Journal.

Indigenous Nations and Modern States provides a refreshing, insightful, and needed reframing of the international system, contemporary ethnic conflict, and the politics of indigenous peoples. The text brings to the analytical fore-front the underlying tensions between surviving nations and national identities and the states that were constructed on top of them. As Rser clearly elucidates, contemporary nation-states have not assimilated or vanquished the continuing attachment to non-state national identities, and this analysis facilitates a needed un-thinking of the inevitability, stability, and predominance of the unitary nation-state.

Erich Steinman, Pitzer College

In Indigenous Nations and Modern States, Rser brilliantly describes how states have appeared and disappeared during the history of mankind. As states come and go, the Nations and Peoples persist over time, and the book gives a detailed description of the situation for the worlds many Nations and Peoples. In particular, the insight provided by Rser into the relations between the American Indian nations and the early European settlers is eye-opening and differs greatly from the common 20th-century version of those events. The book is an important contribution to both the survival of the Nations and Peoples of the Fourth World and to making the world a better place.
