But the situation of indigenous peoples also deeply informed his argument in Strange Multiplicity2—and not only in terms of the central motif of the lectures pro vided by Haida artist Bill Reid. In that book, he sought to reveal and defend a much richer conception of legal and cultural pluralism than had hitherto been appreciated by liberal constitutionalists and their critics. Indigenous peoples are not simply a litmus test for our thinking about pluralism but represent a much deeper challenge to the way we conceptualize notions of citizenship, sovereignty, democracy and freedom in the first place—and indeed the nature of political philosophy itself.
