Abstract

Part I of this article will provide a historical context for the Declaration by surveying the international recognition of the concept of "Indigenous" rights that led to the adoption of the Declaration. Part II will discuss the positions taken by each no-vote state and the reasoning employed by these states in support of those positions. Part Ill will focus on how U.S. Tribes might turn the Declaration into a living document in spite of the United States' continued resistance to do so.
