Learning from our old people and the politics of being indigenous: A ngarrindjeri response to the ancient one case

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

    Abstract

    The “discovery” of the Ancient One has raised many significant issues related to the dichotomy between the objectives of science and the belief systems of Native Americans. In a global context, this case is representative and symbolic for many Indigenous peoples within colonized societies who continue to struggle for acknowledgment of their cultural heritage rights and recognition of their continued existence.
