This field-defining, valuable open access glossary offers a unique, comprehensive introduction to core concepts for Indigenous nation-building research and practice. Bringing together an international, interdisciplinary team of experts and practitioners, and covering a broad range of geographies and peoples, the book offers over 100 extended definitions that include illustrative vignettes, full cross-references, and suggestions for further reading.
