On 13 September 2007, after three decades of often obfuscatory debate, the UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Although it is affirmed in the second preambular paragraph that 'Indigenous peoples are equal to all other peoples', and therefore, as is stated in Article 3, 'have the right to self-determination', Article 4 limits the exercise of that right to the enjoyment of 'autonomy or self-government in…

The idea has been around in the for…

The distortion and misrepresentation of Native American spiritual tradition is nothing new.

During the last twenty years, the list of those lining up to share in the supposed prestige of American…
