DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ronald Niezen\, Canada Research Chair in the\nComp
 arative Study of Indigenous Rights and Identity\, and new chair\nof the Mc
 Gill Anthropology department.\nAbstract\nThe term 'indigenous' now invokes
  the idea of a community or\nsociety pursuing a timeless ways of life\, th
 e first occupants of\nremote\, wild territories living simply with the use
  of basic\ntechnology.  But it has been in common use only for the past\nt
 hree or so decades\, and the legal foundations of the international\ncommu
 nity of indigenous peoples are almost as recent. The shift\nfrom legal con
 cept to self-representation was greatly facilitated\nby the rise in number
 s and influence of international\nnongovernmental organizations and by new
  possibilities for cultural\nlobbying and public persuasion.  This illustr
 ates a\nlegal/institutional origin to some new and emerging categories of
 \nbelonging and identity.  The idea of a community with shared\nexperience
  can in and of itself bring into existence a new regime\nof rights\, an au
 tonomous conception of belonging and a new basis\nfor local and transnatio
 nal citizenship.\nAbout the speaker\nRonald Niezen's research involves inv
 estigating indigenous\npeoples as active participants in international net
 works and\norganizations. His research is informing relationships between
 \nindigenous peoples and nation-states in the context of global\ngovernanc
 e.\nProfessor Niezen was previously at Humboldt University\, Berlin\,\nGer
 many.\nPresented by the 91ºÚÁÏÍø International Law Society student\nclub.\n
