Reviews
...a significant contribution to our understanding of this area of property rights and offers an enlightening vision of how a resolution might look in one area of the world comprising northern Finland, Norway, Sweden and the Kola Peninsula in the Russian Federation...The editors and the publisher ought to be rightfully proud of this book...[It] makes an important contribution to understanding Indigenous peoples' property rights and human rights in respect of lands and resources. It is an impressive contribution to the rapidly growing discipline of Indigenous peoples' rights - including human rights - to lands and waters. Much of the work in this book is applicable to all settler States. It deserves to be widely read and considered. -- Jacinta Ruru * Journal of Human Rights and the Environment, Vol. 4 No. 2 * ...these contributions are not only methodically ordered, they also contribute to providing the reader with a clearer and fuller picture of the draft Nordic Saami Convention and its wider context...it will be of interest to readers who are interested in indigenous, albeit not in Saami, issues. For readers with an interest in the rights of the Saami, though, this collection is indispensable. -- Stefan Kirchner * The Polar Journal, 3:2 * ...most chapters in the anthology are highly informative and offer great insight into complex issues. The book can therefore be recommended to anyone interested in indigenous peoples' rights. -- Mattias Ahren * Nordic Journal of Human Rights, Volume 32. Number 3. 2014 * Overall, the collection delivers what it promises: a consideration of the convention within an international and comparative law perspective. The various contributions provide the reader with a useful and timely reference work on the draft convention as well as insightful analyses of some of its key substantive provisions...For those who teach indigenous legal issues in a Canadian context, it provides a useful comparative tool that relativizes the issue of race and provides a broader perspective for considering colonization and indigenous claims in Canada. -- Darren O'Toole * Canadian Yearbook of International Law *
