Beyond biculturalism : the politics of an indigenous minority / Dominic O'Sullivan. 305.8994 OSU
O'Sullivan argues that biculturalism inevitably makes Maori the junior partner in a colonial relationship that obstructs Maori aspirations to self-determination. The politics of indigeneity and self-determination are discussed as alternative political ideas for thinking about Maori relationships with the state. Against this background, and by drawing on Australian and Canadial comparisons, the book examines contemporary Maori political issues such as the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004, Maori parliamentary representation, the 'one law for all' ideology, settlements of Maori grievances against the Crown, and Maori economic development.

Amazon book jacketFirst peoples : indigenous cultures and their futures / by Jeffrey Sissons. (2005) 305.8 SIS
Sissons, professor of social anthropology in New Zealand, calls his book an "argument about the future of indigeneity," and in it he analyzes first peoples from the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and Brazil. He addresses the painful nineteenth- and early twentieth-century process of assimilation, which was, from the indigenous perspective, a violent separation of people from their culture and children from their families. ...Sissons maintains that indigenous cultures worldwide are in the process of recovering what was lost in the process of colonization, that is, their children, land, and sovereignty. He feels that this is possible through participatory democracy. (Booklist)

Emerging Indigenous Governance: Ainu Rights at the Intersection of Global Norms and Domestic Institutions,, in Alternatives: Global, Local, Political; Jan-Mar2008, Vol. 33 Issue 1, p53-82
Many advances, while sanctioned at a global level, require implementation by nation-states in domestic contexts to have their greatest effect. To what extent do such global norms shape and guide indigenous peoples to influence domestic governance? To what extent are barriers in local contexts working against these global agreements? This is examined via historical research and interview data to examine Japan's policy toward the Ainu. (abstract from author)

Indigenous youth and gangs as family, , in Youth Studies Australia; Sep2009, Vol. 28 Issue 3, p47-56.
Explores the ways in which indigenous young people experience gang activity as stemming from family membership and family obligations. Indeed, the notion of 'gang' is itself highly contentious for many Indigenous youth, given that their group behaviour is intrinsically bound by cultural and kinship ties. (Ebsco abstract).
