This analysis by an Indigenous feminist scholar challenges the United Nations-based human rights agendas and colonial theory that until now have shaped Indigenous models of self-determination. Gender inequality and gender violence, Dian Million argues, are critically important elements in the process of self-determination. Million contends that nation-state relations are influenced by a theory of trauma ascendant with the rise of neoliberalism. Such use of trauma theory regarding human rights corresponds to a therapeutic narrative by Western governments negotiating with Indigenous nations as they seek self-determination. Focusing on Canada and drawing comparisons with the United States and Australia, Million brings a genealogical understanding of trauma against a historical filter. Illustrating how Indigenous people are positioned differently in Canada, Australia, and the United States in their articulation of trauma, the author particularly addresses the violence against women as a language within a greater politic. The book introduces an Indigenous feminist critique of this violence against the medicalized framework of addressing trauma and looks to the larger goals of decolonization. Noting the influence of humanitarian psychiatry, Million goes on to confront the implications of simply dismissing Indigenous healing and storytelling traditions. Therapeutic Nations is the first book to demonstrate affect and trauma's wide-ranging historical origins in an Indigenous setting, offering insights into community healing programs. The author's theoretical sophistication and original research make the book relevant across a range of disciplines as it challenges key concepts of American Indian and Indigenous studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aIndigenous peoples$zCanada$xGovernment relations 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xGovernment relations$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xCivil rights$zCanada 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xCivil rights$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xLegal status, laws, etc$zCanada 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xLegal status, laws, etc$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aTruth commissions$vCross-cultural studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xGovernment relations. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xGovernment relations 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xCivil rights 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xCivil rights 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aTruth commissions 676 $a323.1197071 700 $aMillion$b Dian$f1950-$0955287 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452687403321 996 $aTherapeutic nations$92160879 997 $aUNINA
