“…The international indigenous rights movement, which has gained momentum since the 1980s, has been demanding territorial autonomy and respect for customary laws (Ivison et al 2000, Sieder 2002, Xanthaki 2007. The movement has achieved positive results in the cases of the Mexican state of Oaxaca and the Philippines, where legal frameworks have been established for multiculturalism and indigenous rights (Matsuzaki andWong 2010, Daguitan 2012).…”

ABSTRACT. The term socio-ecological production landscapes (SEPLs) has recently gained currency in conservation circles because of a recognized need to look beyond protected areas to the management of human-influenced landscapes and ecosystems. We have drawn on a variety of case studies from Asia and other parts of the world to understand the underlying driving forces that have led to the need for greater awareness and sustainable management of SEPLs. We have analyzed the drivers of these changes from sociopolitical, legal, economic, and socio-cultural perspectives. The analysis shows that SEPLs contribute to local, national, and global economies, and their production and harvesting processes are subject to external demands and pressures. Policy makers should recognize the wide range and diverse values of SEPLs and incorporate these values into broader policy considerations. We have also provided some suggestions for future studies.

“…Indigenous peoples are striding across the world's political stage by capitalizing on indigeneity principles and indigenous politics as catalyst for empowerment and engagement. In a relatively short period of time, Indigenous peoples have managed to achieve all or parts of the following: shed the most egregious dimensions of colonialism; recover and articulate their voices; transform political and public attitudes; secure international support in defense of their claims; enlist international law to prove violations; and propose a specific agenda of Indigenous peoples rights (Xanthaki 2008). …”

“…We prefer the Greek term, autochthonous (meaning springing from the earth) peoples but have difficulty envisioning narratives that embrace autochthoneity as discourse and politics, despite Indigenous continuity to land (Xanthaki 2008).

Indigeneity-Grounded Analysis (IGA) as Policy(-Making) Lens: New Zealand Models, Canadian Realities

Engaging politically with the principles of indigeneity is neither an option nor a cop out. The emergence of Indigenous peoples as prime-time players on the world's political stage attests to the timeliness and relevance of indigeneity in advancing a new postcolonial contract for living together differently. Insofar as the principles of indigeneity are inextricably linked with challenge, resistance, and transformation, this paper argues that reference to indigeneity as policy(-making) paradigm is both necessary and overdue. To put this argument to the test, the politics of Maori indigeneity in Aotearoa New Zealand are analyzed and assessed in constructing an indigeneity agenda model. The political implications of an indigeneity-policy nexus are then applied to the realities of Canada's Indigenous/Aboriginal peoples. The paper contends that, just as the Government is committed to a gender based analysis (GBA) for improving policy outcomes along gender lines, so too should the principles of indigeneity (or aboriginality) secure an indigeneity grounded analysis (IGA) framework for minimizing systemic policy bias while maximizing Indigenous peoples inputs. The paper concludes by theorizing those provisional first principles that inform an IGA framework as a policy (-making) lens. Keywords

The rights of indigenous peoples (or indigenous rights) are those rights aspired to, claimed, held, exercised, or enforced by or on behalf of the indigenous peoples of the world (Connolly 2009). The United Nations has estimated the worldwide population of indigenous people at around 370 million, inhabiting 90 countries across all the regions of the world (United Nations 2009). In 2007, the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. This agreement codified many of the rights asserted by the world's indigenous groups over the past few decades and offered those groups a clear and authoritative moral and legal basis upon which to pursue their ongoing struggle for recognition and justice (United Nations 2008; see Identity, Politics of; Recognition; Reconciliation). The promulgation of the Declaration also signaled the increased importance within national and international moral, political, and legal discourse of issues surrounding the status and needs of indigenous peoples.
