Bridging Cultural Concepts of Nature

Indigenous People and Protected Spaces of Nature

Rani-Henrik Andersson et al. (eds.)

Part of the AHEAD: Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences series.

For generations of Indigenous peoples, national parks and other preserved spaces of nature have meant dispossession, treaty violations of hunting and fishing rights, and the loss of sacred places. Drawing on case studies from Scandinavia to Latin America and from North America to New Zealand, Bridging Cultural Concepts of Nature challenges the old paradigm where Indigenous peoples are not included in the conservation and protection of natural areas and instead calls for the incorporation of Indigenous voices into this debate.
