Abstract

The purpose of this research is to outline how Indigenous political thought has been taken up in the field of political theory, and more specifically in the emerging sub field of comparative political theory. This survey of current research is not meant to be exhaustive, but will provide a look at some of the major moments of theorizing that have shaped this research area. I am focusing on Canadian political theory, as this Is the context I am the most familiar with. This research also demonstrates issues around including Indigenous political thought in comparative political theory, and suggestions for how the field should move forward in order to address concerns of possible epistemic violence.
