O knihe
Around the planet, indigenous people are using old and new technologies to amplify their voices and broadcast information to a global audience. This is the first portrait of a powerful international movement that looks both inward and outward, helping to preserve ancient languages and cultures while communicating across cultural, political, and geographical boundaries. Based on more than twenty years of research, observation, and work experience in indigenous journalism, film, music and visual art, this volume includes specialized studies of Inuit in Nunavut and the circumpolar north, and First Nations peoples in the Yukon.
