- Title
Re-historicising dissolved identities: Deskaheh, the League of Nations, and international legal discourse on Indigenous peoples.
- Authors
Young, Stephen
- Abstract
In 1923, Levi General Deskaheh sought recognition from the League of Nations of the Six Nations' sovereignty and right to self-determination. Although scholars have good reasons for retroactively identifing Deskaheh as a representative of Indigenous peoples, doing so dissolves the identities of historical and present-day subjects, which has a number of invidious consequences.
