Description: "Darrell A. Posey, who died in 2001, was internationally known for his advocacy of indigenous peoples: from his pioneering association with the Kayapo of Brazil to his global campaign to protect indigenous knowledge and practices using the concept of Traditional Resource Rights. Indigenous Knowledge and Ethics: A Darrell Posey Reader presents seventeen of his articles on indigenous knowledge, natural resource use, and intellectual property rights. Demonstrating his belief in the validity of indigenous knowledge systems, and his insistence that indigenous rights must be recognized and protected, it is an ideal introduction to his thought and work."--BOOK JACKET.
