Since the state and its colonial proxies first encroached upon their homeland three centuries ago, natives of the Far North have continued to assert and defend their Aboriginal rights and cultural traditions and have sought to preserve as much of the autonomy of their independent polities now threatened by state expansion as they could. As natives learned more about the many systems and structures of governance that were exported from Eurasia, from the commercial trading posts and early global networks they were part of, to the representative constitutional democracies that took root in their homelands, they found many new ways to reassert, and increasingly, restore, their autonomy – through innovative domestic diplomacy, protracted (sometimes multi-decade) negotiations, and various forms of political protest and engagement (including the omnipresent threat of litigation to delay development projects proposed for their homeland).

摘要

Since the state and its colonial proxies first encroached upon their homeland three centuries ago, natives of the Far North have continued to assert and defend their Aboriginal rights and cultural traditions and have sought to preserve as much of the autonomy of their independent polities now threatened by state expansion as they could.
