Abstract
In this first issue of an important new journal about international law, I offer a perspective of these three liberal democratic states' relationships with indigenous peoples. I argue that the dynamics in these relationships-and the norms that govern them-are similar to those between sovereign states. By extension, as the world becomes more complex, "international" law seems on its way to both losing its conventional identity (as rules that are primarily accessed through the keyhole of Westphalian nationhood), and acquiring a new, more universal character (as norms that govern interactions between individuals and groups on a global basis). International law is no longer either international or law.
