With globalization and colonization taking over nearly the entire known world, native tribes who are indigenous to their lands are losing control of the lands where their people have lived by centuries of foreign colonizers claiming the land as their own. Now, indigenous peoples around the world are fighting to reclaim the lands and rights that were taken from them through nonviolent social relationships with national governments and corporations. Anthropologists have recorded how indigenous peoples around the world attempt to forge relationships with national governments to reclaim the rights and lands they once had before the colonization of their ancestral land. This essay collects three examples of ethnographic research conducted by anthropologists who followed different Aboriginal populations. the journey of people to take back their land from the hands of the government. The first two articles discuss two different tribes in Canada; the Nisga'a and the Cheslatta T'en, while the third and final article discusses the struggle of the U'wa tribe in Colombia. All three tribes have different ways and reasons for their struggle, but each has the same goal; freedom to live in their homeland and practice their culture and beliefs peacefully without interference from the national government of the country in which they reside. Anthropological Research Carole Blackburn writes the first article, entitled Differentiating Indigenous Citizenship, Searching for Multiplicity in Rights, Identity and Sovereignty in Canada. Her ethnographic research took her to British Columbia where she examined the delicate society of the Nisga'a people; an Aboriginal tribe that has fought for more than a penny for differentiated indigenous citizenship...... middle of paper...... globally so that other tribes can follow in their footsteps and defend their rights as a historic people and important, and also to show national governments that indigenous peoples are essential to world history and deserve to be treated with equal respect because of the way their lands have been colonized as part of globalization.
