Summary

Indigenous planning is both an ideological movement and a field of planning, with its own approaches, theories and practice, that integrates 'traditional' or 'cultural' knowledges into the planning process. It is planning done by Indigenous peoples for Indigenous communities, rather than planning done by non- Indigenous peoples and imposed upon Indigenous communities. Indigenous planning recognizes that "all human communities plan" and recognizes that Indigenous communities have been carrying out and adapting community planning processes for thousands of years..

Nomenclature

"As an activity, 'planning' isn't owned by the West, its theorists, or practitioners. It just happens to be an English language descriptor for a universal human function with an abiding and justifiable concern for the future" (pg. 4)

Overview

Indigenous communities have been planning their communities for thousands of years. However, Indigenous planning began emerging within the context of modern planning during the mid- 20 century. It is a continually evolving practice and spans (but is contextually unique to) Indigenous communities around the world.

The scope of Indigenous planning can be seen to cover three broad areas: Indigenous communities, urban Indigenous communities, land and resource planning.

Pre- contact (and continuing) focus on managing interactions with the natural world, now also interactions with non- Indigenous (colonial) peoples/ communities/ states.

Refers to/ be contextualized in terms of: place (environment, resources, physical space); people (community, tribe, clan, nation); knowledge, principles, worldviews; practices, approaches, methods and institutions .

Particularly apparent (not right word) in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, United States (countries of large Indigenous populations, with colonial histories).
