This book provides an answer to that question for Australia and provides guidance for all states that claim jurisdiction and authority over the traditional lands of Indigenous peoples. This includes Canada, New Zealand, and the United States, as well as those less often considered, such as Scandinavian and South American states. By engaging directly with Indigenous Australians' nuanced and complex aspirations, this book presents a viable model for structural reform. It does so by adopting a distinctive and innovative approach: drawing on Indigenous scholarship globally it presents a coherent and compelling account of Indigenous peoples' political aspirations through the concept of sovereignty. It then articulates those themes into a set of criteria legible to Australia's system of governance. This original perspective produces a culturally informed metric to assess institutional mechanisms and processes designed to empower Indigenous peoples. Reflecting the Uluru Statement from the Heart's call for a First Nations Voice, the book applies the criteria to one specific institutional mechanism-Indigenous representative bodies. It analyses in detail the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission and the Swedish Sami Parliament, a representative body for the Indigenous people of Sweden. In examining the Sami Parliament the book draws on a rich source of primary and secondary untranslated Swedish-language sources, resulting in the most comprehensive English language exploration of this unique institution. Highlighting the opportunities and challenges of Indigenous representative bodies, the book concludes by presenting a novel and informed model for structural reform in Australia that meets Indigenous aspirations"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Australia. 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Torres Strait Islanders $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Law reform $z Australia. 650 7 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794534 650 7 $a Indigenous peoples $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970247 650 7 $a Law reform $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994081 650 7 $a Torres Strait Islanders $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01152841 651 7 $a Australia $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204543 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hobbs, Harry. $t Indigenous aspirations and structural reform in australia $d Oxford, UK : New York, NY : Hart Publishing, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing, 2020 $z 9781509940165 $w (DLC) 2020038489 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014536.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=02E6BF009F4311EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
