What Good Condition? collects edited papers, initially delivered at the Treaty Advancing Reconciliation conference, on the proposal for a treaty between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians, a proposal which has been discussed and dissected for nearly 30 years. Featuring contributions from prominent Aboriginal community leaders, legal experts and academics, this capacious work provides an overview of the context and legacy of the residue of treaty proposals and negotiations in past decades; a consideration of the implications of treaty in an Indigenous, national and international context; and, finally, some reflections on regional aspirations and achievements.

"At the dawn of the third millennium, dramatic challenges face human civilization everywhere. Relations between human beings and their environment are in peril, with mounting threats to both biological diversity of life on earth and cultural diversity of human communities. The peoples of the Circumpolar Arctic are at the forefront of these challenges and lead the way in seeking meaningful responses." "In Biocultural Diversity and Indigenous Ways of Knowing, author Karim-Aly Kassam positions the Arctic and sub-Arctic as a homeland rather than simply a frontier for resource exploitation. Kassam aims to empirically and theoretically illustrate the synthesis between the cultural and biological, using human ecology as a conceptual and analytical lens. Drawing on research carried out in partnership with indigenous northern communities, three case studies illustrate that subsistence hunting and gathering are not relics of an earlier era, but rather remain essential to both cultural diversity and to human survival." "This book deals with contemporary issues such as climate change, indigenous knowledge, and the impact of natural resource extraction. It is a narrative of community-based research, in the service of the communities for the benefit of the communities. It provides resource-based industry, policy makers, and students with an alternative way of engaging indigenous communities and transforming our perspective on conservation of ecological and cultural diversity."--BOOK JACKET.

In this paper we present three cases of young indigenous artists from Mexico and Panama. Through film, television and rap, they combine their poetics with political agency, creating novel content for global indigenous and non-indigenous audiences. We argue they can be regarded as new mediators who make visible to their communities and the world a new indigenous reality from a middle audiovisual ground. ; En este artículo presentamos tres casos de jóvenes artistas indígenas de México y Panamá que, desde el cine, la televisión y el rap, y combinando su poética con la agencia política, crean contenidos novedosos para audiencias indígenas y no indígenas globales. Argumentamos que estos comunicadores de la era digital pueden ser considerados nuevos mediadores que, a través de un espacio intermedio audiovisual, visibilizan ante sus comunidades y el mundo una nueva realidad indígena.

"Duncan McCue's Decolonizing Journalism is the only text in Canada that teaches aspiring journalists how to build respectful, reciprocal relationships with Indigenous communities when researching and sharing their stories. It is a textbook adaptation of an online guide from one of Canada's leading Indigenous journalists. Decolonizing Journalism guides students through building critical consciousness vis-à-vis Indigenous people and communities, teaches them how to apply their journalistic skills and minds to working with communities, and offers 9 exclusive interviews with Canada's leading Indigenous journalists and podcasters to provide students insight into the histories, processes, and obstacles central to decolonizing journalism and media from the inside out."--

"Die Grassroots-Bewegung "Idle No More", von indigenen Frauen gegründet und getragen, identifiziert sich weder als Frauen- noch als Indigenenorganisation. Mit basisdemokratischer und intersektionaler Bündnisarbeit schafft sie es, breite Unterstützung für ihre Hauptanliegen - Schutz der Umwelt und Vertragsrechte indigener Nationen - zu generieren und gleichzeitig die zugrundeliegenden kolonialen und sexistischen Strukturen zu thematisieren. Die Autorin argumentiert, dass der Erfolg der Organisation auch in einer Kontextanalyse begründet liegt, die aufklärt, ohne anzuklagen und damit anschlussfähig ist für eine breite Bündnisarbeit." (Autorenreferat)

PURPOSE: Worldwide, Indigenous people often have disproportionally worse health and lower life expectancy than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Despite the impact of cancer on life expectancy, little is known about the burden of cancer for Indigenous people primarily because of the paucity of data. We investigated the collection and reporting of Indigenous status information among a global sample of population-based cancer registries (PBCRs). PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: An online survey was e-mailed to eligible registries using set inclusion criteria. Respondents were asked questions on the collection, reporting, and quality assessment of Indigenous status in their registers. RESULTS: Eighty-three PBCRs from 25 countries were included. Of these, 66% reported that their registry collected Indigenous status data, although the quality of this variable had been assessed in less than half in terms of completeness (38%) and accuracy (47%). Two thirds of PBCRs who collected Indigenous status data (67%), from nine of 25 countries responded that cancer statistics for Indigenous people were reported using registry data. Key barriers to the collection of Indigenous status information included the lack of data collection at the point of care (79%), lack of transfer of Indigenous status to the cancer registry (46%), inadequate information systems (43%), and legislative limitations (32%). Important variations existed among world regions, although the lack of Indigenous status data collection at the point of care was commonly reported across all regions. CONCLUSION: High-quality data collection is lacking for Indigenous peoples in many countries. To ensure the design and implementation of cancer control activities required to reduce disparities for Indigenous populations, health information systems, including cancer registries, need to be strengthened, and this must be done in dialogue with Indigenous leaders.

This study offers an exploration of the drama which contains Aboriginal people's effortto attain a visible reality based on cultural and political rights. It is also a deeperunderstanding of the empowering and disempowering Indigenes in the discursivedomain as well as in the existential reality. Though the study considers a large numberof playtexts written by the Indigenous playwrights from 1970s to the present, it exploresplaytexts written by non-Indigenous playwrights as well. Here, the chief concern is toexplore the discursive features of the texts, the items both linguistic and dramatic thattend to place or exclude Aboriginal people from discourses. Such a consideration mayvery well go beyond the periodic consideration of the plays. The Aboriginal theatremovement started in the 1970s serves as the complete reconceptualisation ofAboriginality in terms of centering Aboriginal Identity and culture in the dominantdiscursive domain. Such an intervention may involve the recovery of Aboriginal historyfrom the dominant history of Australia and infusing positive attributes to Indigenes'identity. It also provides force in their existential reality. Freed from submission to thedominant's prescription, the drama appears as an alternative formula, but a rigorouslyvibrant medium of contestation in which history, identity, culture, politics and realityare endlessly expressive and persuasive.Keeping with the need to expose the complexity of the process of empowering anddisempowering Indigenes, I read the discursive strategies employed in a selection ofplaytexts.The empowering drama adds dignity to Aboriginal people's gesture of friendship andgoodwill and contrasts with the representation of aggressive colonial one. The dramaexposes the encounter between negative and positive features in the representation ofAboriginality, thereby suggesting fighting against the authoritative design involves therepresentation of Indigenes in their terms. The most significant element theempowering drama contributes is its ability to capture the experience of the struggle ofIndigenes to survive since colonisation. Aboriginal drama focuses more on thestrategies to unsettle the dominant system than on the social order and the context. Thefinal paradox is the act of inclusion and exclusion of Indigenes to/from the dominanttheatrical discourses that indicate a fine line between empowerment anddisempowerment.

In the first part of this paper selected narratives of early exploration of Northwest Amazonia are analysed with the intention to reveal the values that colonisers and scientist hold at the moment of encountering indigenous peoples. It is argued that these values were transformed and adapted for the development of Economic Botany. The discussion continues on questioning: 'Were ethnosciences shaped by imperialistic motives?', 'Has the ethnology of Northwest Amazonia contributed to intercultural dialogue or has it all been part of a colonialist project of Northwest Amazon?'. In the second part of the paper a narrative is presented. The narrative describes a process through which the values of liberal democracy were to be imprinted in indigenous peoples' organisations of the Colombian Amazonia during the 1990s. Leví-Strauss' perspective of intervention: "the society we belong to is the only society we are in a position to transform without risk of destroying it" (Levi-Strauss1973: 392) its taken to develop a critical appraisal of the process described. The paper finalises with a call for ethnoscientists to consider 'fair play' rather than 'objectivity' when attempting research in Northwest Amazonia. It is concluded that Amazonia and its indigenous population would gain much if each political actor (including scientists) would express their own subjectivity clearly and without hesitation.

The recent violence against the colombian indigenous people is integral: it is not only political or socio-economic, but also cultural and symbolic. Their resistance struggles show that, rather than passive victims, they are socio-political actors with a different life project. In this resistance, the short and long memories constructed by the native people of the country with a deep political sense are highlighted. This article considers the plural memories that are in constant dispute over the meaning of the past, both within indigenous communities and the rest of the Colombian society. It focuses its analysis in cases from Cauca and La Guajira. ; La reciente violencia en contra de los pueblos indígenas colombianos es integral, no solo política o socioeconómica, sino también cultural y simbólica.
