Doing It for Themselves

Transformative Planning by Indigenous Peoples

University of Adelaide

Michael Hibbard

Department of Planning, Public Policy & Management at the University of Oregon

Colonial processes of territorial acquisition and state formation have constituted a continuous assault on the political and cultural autonomy of the indigenous peoples of the New World. In recent decades, indigenous claims for land justice and resource sovereignty have posed considerable legal and political challenges for postsettler states. Planning offers an indispensable conceptual and operational lens through which to examine state responses to indigenous claims. The authors use case studies to explore the utility, contribution, and key features of planning undertaken as a means of resolving resource conflicts, enhancing indigenous capacity to regain and manage custodial lands, and developing community autonomy.

Key Words: community self-determination • indigenous communities • resource sovereignty • transformative planning
