Summary:

Despite centuries of colonization, many Indigenous peoples' cultures remain distinct in their ancestral territories, even in today's globalized world. Yet they exist often within countries that hardly recognize their existence. Struggles for political recognition and cultural respect have occurred historically and continue to challenge Native American nations in Montana and Sámi people of northern Scandinavia in their efforts to remain and thrive as who they are as Indigenous peoples. Mapping Indigenous Presence sets the standard for comparative Indigenous scholarly methodologies. This work attests to the importance of the roles Indigenous people have played as overseers of their own lands and resources and as political entities capable of governing themselves. Book jacket.
