The First Nations Development Institute's report, "Elevating Native Voices of Justice Across Indian Country," examines Native perspectives on justice and the implications for the broader American concept of justice. It incorporates data from a national survey of Native and non-Native people's views, interviews, and artistic submissions to present diverse Native understandings of justice, highlight the consequences of injustice, and advocate for essential policy changes. The report stresses that mainstream justice concepts do not align with the justice values held within Native communities, which often lack a direct translation in Indigenous languages.
The literal translation of 'justice' does not exist in most Indigenous languages, highlighting the distinct perspectives Native communities have on justice that differ from mainstream American concepts.
The First Nations report underscores the importance of involving Native voices in conversations about justice, reflecting the unique experiences and definitions held by Indigenous peoples.
