My current research interests concern the broad area of Indigenous peoples' cultural survival with specific regard to the areas of resource management, political activism at the national and international levels and the philosophies and politics of place which underpin the drive for cultural survival.  Much of my work is comparative in nature and has focused predominately on New Zealand, Australia and North America.
