 The struggle for Indigenous self-determination is not unique to Canada. Rather, Indigenous movements towards self-determination have emerged across North and South America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and other territories. Scholars, such as Ronald Niezen (2003), Will Kymlicka (2013), and Sheryl Lightfoot (2016), have written on the subject of indigenous peoples’ international struggles for individual and collective rights. International recognition-based models have gained momentum since the 2007 United Nations Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Lightfoot highlights the revolutionary potential of international movements to enable a collective voice where local struggles may strategically coalesce on a global platform. Acknowledging local variations, Indigenous people have developed a movement beyond national borders that strive to recognize the political autonomy by addressing issues surrounding land rights and cultural distinctiveness.
