Join BGInS for our Visiting Professor Lecture this Fall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul McKenzie-Jones<\/a> will be presenting a lecture on The Power of \u2018Recognition\u2019: Settler States and the Suppression of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as International Peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indigenous Peoples have always known themselves to be international Peoples and yet, for centuries, the politics of settler nation states have recognized them only as \u2018domestic\u2019 nations within the borders of those states. While Indigenous Peoples are now recognized under international law as having the right to self-determination, those rights are still restricted by the settler states around them. The self-appointed power of settler states to bestow recognition or status upon Indigenous Peoples has successfully suppressed their ability to exercise their rights as international Peoples. Ultimately, the power of recognition restricts Indigenous Peoples\u2019 legal existence as distinct sovereign nations to the whims of the settler states within whose claimed territories they reside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a long global history of Indigenous Peoples\u2019, as nations and collectives, asserting their rights as international Peoples, and settler states implementing processes and mechanisms to ensure those rights are never fully implemented. I argue that these assertions of their rights as international Peoples are not merely the expression of their political need for sovereignty and international recognition. They are part of the long, undiminished, fight for the preservation of Indigenous Peoples\u2019 human rights worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
