CFP: CASCA 2013 symposium

Indigenous people and international borders

This symposium focuses on the theme Indigneous people and international borders, looking at ethnographic cases on different borders and examining the interaction of Indigenous people with State institutions of two or more countries and the patterns of (dis)respect of citizenship rights. Attention will be given to the ways that Indigenous peoples have related to national states in border situations that have emerged from colonial histories. Most Indigenous people who live on international borders share the fact that these were their traditional territories before the boundaries were established between national States. The aim of this symposium is to bring together studies of different border situations that involve Indigenous peoples.
