Abstract

This title is a collection of essays on treaties and agreements with Indigenous People. It is an important contribution to international debates on Indigenous peoples' rights. The contributions in 'Honour Among Nations?' describe and analyse a diversity of treaty and agreement-making instances between Indigenous peoples and others in settler states. Drawing on a variety of academic disciplines, legal jurisdictions and contexts, the collection provides a comprehensive overview for readers interested in learning more about new directions in treaties, agreement making and Indigenous public policy and aspirations in settler states. The scope of the collection includes recent cases and historical analyses of past events. The main body of the collection consists of nineteen critical chapters grouped into four main sections. In addition, there is a general critical introduction, and four brief introductions that contextualise each of the volume's sections.
