Our elders understand our rights : evolving international law regarding indigenous peoples

Summary: Beginning in Europe’s Middle Ages with "the doctrine of discovery," this book traces the development of international law as it affected Indigenous peoples. Viewing various issues, events and legislation from an Indigenous perspective, the book goes on to examine work undertaken in the twentieth century by international organizations in the study and clarification of the legal status and rights of Indigenous peoples.
