In the late 1960s, indigenous activists protested assimilation policies and the usurpation of their lands as a new mining boom took off, radically threatening their collective identities. Often excluded from legal recourse in the past, indigenous leaders took their claims to court with remarkable results: for the first time, their distinctive histories were admitted as evidence of their rights. Miranda Johnson examines how indigenous peoples advocated for themselves in courts and commissions of inquiry between the early 1970s to the mid-1990s, chronicling an extraordinary and overlooked history in which virtually disenfranchised peoples forced powerful settler democracies to reckon with their demands. Based on extensive archival research and interviews with leading participants, The Land Is Our History brings to the fore complex and rich discussions among activists, lawyers, anthropologists, judges, and others in the context of legal cases in far-flung communities dealing with rights, history, and identity. The effects of these debates were unexpectedly wide-ranging. By asserting that they were the first peoples of the land, indigenous leaders compelled the powerful settler states that surrounded them to negotiate their rights and status. Fracturing national myths and making new stories of origin necessary, indigenous peoples' claims challenged settler societies to rethink their sense of belonging"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: A fragile truce -- Citizens plus : new indigenous activism in Australia and Canada -- Australia's first, first people -- Frontier justice in Canada's north -- Commissions of inquiry and the idea of a new social contract -- Making a "partnership between races" : Maori activism and the Treaty of Waitangi -- The Pacific way -- Epilogue: Truce undone. 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Legal status, laws, etc. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100477 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100219 650 0 $a Maori (New Zealand people) $x Legal status, laws, etc. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107370 650 7 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794534 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969825 650 7 $a Maori (New Zealand people) $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01008607 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 776 08 $i Online version: $a Johnson, Miranda C.L., author. $t Land is our history. $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2016] $z 9780190600037 $w (DLC) 2016016246 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021015303.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E76977F4EA0A11E7B6F5700597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
