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. Cumulatively, these provide the basis for an invaluable common language among Indigenous communities and organisations, researchers and policymakers, and anyone interested in strengths-based approaches to 'what works' in fostering Indigenous self-determination through self-government. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on Bloomsbury Collections. Open access was funded by The Australian Indigenous Governance Institute.
