This book moves the discussion to within specific Indigenous legal orders. \u003ci\u003eIndigenous Intellectual Property\u003c\/i\u003e opens up complex discussions about existing Indigenous intellectual property law, and avoids the tendency to pigeonhole Indigenous IP into a Western legal model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on diverse case studies, this book considers the existing laws in the Gitxsan, Secwepemc, and Hupacasath (Nuu-chah-nulth) legal orders, as well as from the Solomon Islands and Hawai'i. The case studies are grounded in their respective legal and oral histories, and contextualized within a broader discussion of Indigenous law, addressing issues of colonial myths, shrinking conceptions of Indigenous law, common resistances to Indigenous property and law, and important connections between Indigenous law and governance and citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book carefully considers how the governance and civic value of intellectual property points to the unsuitability of the current state and international IP legal regimes to many Indigenous intellectual property concerns. Ultimately, Indigenous Intellectual Property reveals the various ways in which to identify and understand law within Indigenous societies  through narrative and story analysis, observations of practices and ceremonies, and political and legal ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919616458910,"sku":"ING-9781487558222","price":54.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487558222.jpg?v=1782813998","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487558222","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
