The Conference will cover the following areas: Native American Studies,

Posluns in The Fourth World: an Indian Reality (1974). This was further
analysed in political terms by Noel Dyck in Indigenous Peoples and the
Nation State: 'Fourth World' Politics in Canada, Australia and Norway
(1992). The emergence of Native literatures such as Native American, Native
Canadian, Aboriginal Australian, Maori New Zealandian and Dalit literature
