Our Voices: Indigeneity and Architecture is an exciting advance in the
field of architecture offering multiple indigenous perspectives on
architecture and design theory and practice. Indigenous authors from
Aotearoa NZ, Canada, Australia, and the USA explore the making and
keeping of places and spaces which are informed by indigenous values and
identities. The lack of publications to date offering an indigenous lens
on the field of architecture belies the rich expertise found in
indigenous communities in all four countries. This expertise is made
richer by the fact that this indigenous expertise combines both
architecture and design professional practice, that for the most part is
informed by Western thought and practice, with a frame of reference that
roots this architecture in the indigenous places in which it sits.
