In this Issue of the Fourth World Journal we benefit from explanations, descriptions, and applications of Fourth World scholarship in evolving law and ecocide, an elaboration of an alternative view of the sociology of colonialism; the intersection of community health and “indigenous media;” the evolving character of Fourth World participation in international dialogue through autonomous self-government as a strategy for securing land and culture; and the application of Fourth World knowledge to sustainability.
In this issue alone we cross the spectrum of law development, research, political change, and ecological sustainability.
