About this ebook

This important collection emerges from the growing academic and public policy interest in the area of Indigenous peoples, treaties and agreements; challenging readers to engage with the idea of treaty and agreement making in changing political and legal landscapes. Honour Among Nations? contains contributions from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors from Australia, New Zealand and North America including Marcia Langton, Gillian Triggs, Joe Williams, Paul Chartrand and Noel Pearson. It features a preface by Sir Anthony Mason. This book covers topics as diverse as treaty and agreement making in Australia, New Zealand and British Columbia; land, the law, political rights and Indigenous peoples; maritime agreements; health; governance and jurisdiction; race discrimination in Australia; the Timor Sea Treaty; copyright and intellectual property issues for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors. Honour Among Nations? makes a significant contribution to international debates on Indigenous peoples' rights, treaties and agreement making.
