Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples

From the introduction: "Eleven of the fifteen chapters were written by participants in the Oklahoma Supreme Court's Sovereignty Symposium. While some of the chapters are based on papers presented at the Symposium, many are the result of entirely new research. All of the authors are personally familiar with their subject-matter....The book is divided into two sections. The first section lays out the evolving international standards and identifies the players in the standard- making process....The second section gives the reader a close-up view of the real life concerns of indigenous people in a variety of geographic settings and highlights the necessity of strengthening international standards. Together, the fifteen chapters provide an excellent overview of the current situation of indigenous peoples." Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
