Indigenous Rights in Modern Landscapes

This book examines the diverse use of indigenous customary rights in modern landscapes. Part I deals with Sámi customary rights in relation to nature conservation in the Nordic countries and Russia. Part II explores the ideas and implementation of new kinds of postcolonial models of nature conservation. Comparisons are drawn with other indigenous people with cases from Australia, New Zealand, Canada and India. The work provides a multidisciplinary analysis of how the customary livelihood of Indigenous people has adapted to modern industrialised landscapes and also how postcolonial approaches have contributed to global changes of indigenous rights and nature conservation models._x005F_x000D_
