Uncovering Indigenous Models Of Leadership : An Ethnographiccase Study Of Samoa's Talavou Clan
Hardback Edition: 1
Uncovering Indigenous Models of Leadership focuses on Native and Indigenous leadership as an expression of a lived experience--as seen, felt, and heard--from the perspectives provided by Native Pacific Islanders, Polynesians, and, more specifically, Samoans from the Talavou clan.
Central to this study is the question: What themes and elements influence Samoan leadership and how might these leaders provide others, elsewhere, with a different model of leadership, to reduce the inequitable effects of capitalism's insatiable hunger for more power and material gain, so that all people on planet Earth might thrive?
This study asserts that alternative models of leadership must be uncovered and that Native and Indigenous People, specifically leaders, hold the keys to moving our species beyond survival so that we can all thrive.
Liberating, inclusive, and anchored in self-determinism, it demonstrates that Native and Indigenous People know who they are, why they exist, and that they will continue to thrive, despite the ongoing impositions of colonialisation, capitalisation, and globalisation on their ways of being and knowing.
