Indigenous Tourism

"An Indigenous man repopulates the lakes around him with wild rice, much to the disapproval of the local non-Indigenous cottagers. Taylors̉ thirty-first play is a powerful and hilarious dramatization of contemporary confrontations between environmentalists and consumerists, between Indigenous and non-Indigenous sensibilities." - Publisher

"From Greenland to Baffin Island and all along the passage, the author bears witness to the new math of the melting North -- where polar bears mate with grizzlies, creating a new hybrid species; where the earth is on the cusp of yielding so much buried treasure that five nations stand poised to claim sovereignty of the land; and where the local Inuit population struggles to navigate the tension between taking part in the new global economy and defending their traditional way of life." - Publisher

"Red Nation Rising is the first book ever to investigate and explain the violent dynamics of bordertowns... These settlements get their name from their location at the borders of current-day reservation boundaries, which separates the territory of sovereign Native nations from lands claimed by the United States... To this day, the US settler state continues to wage violence on Native life and land in these spaces out of desperation to eliminate the threat of Native presence and complete its vision of national consolidation 'from sea to shining sea.'" - Publisher

"Drawing from treatises, treaties, and case law, this book traces the development of indigenous rights discourse from the Age of Discovery to the adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The book highlights the Philippines, home to a rich diversity of indigenous peoples, and a country that considers tourism as an important contributor to economic development. It chronicles the Ati Community's 15-year struggle for recognition of their ancestral domains in Boracay Island, the region's premiere beach destination." - Publisher

"This handbook provides a cutting-edge, comprehensive overview of global land and resource grabbing... It presents and discusses resource grabbing research in a holistic manner by addressing how the rush for land and other natural resources, including water, forests and minerals, is intertwined with agriculture, mining, tourism, energy, biodiversity conservation, climate change, carbon markets, and conflict." - Publisher

"Courtney W. Mason examines how the Nakoda peoples strategically used the Banff Indian Days festivals to gain access to their sacred lands and respond to colonial policies designed to repress their cultures." - Publisher

"In this book explores a question that is central to the interface of religious studies and Native American and indigenous studies: What have Native peoples made of Christianity? By focusing on the annual pilgrimage of the Tohono O'odham to Magdalena in Sonora, Mexico, Schermerhorn examines how these indigenous people of southern Arizona have made Christianity their own. This walk serves as the entry point for larger questions about what the Tohono O'odham have made of Christianity." - Publisher
