Why write about indigenous peoples and poverty? In recent years poverty has moved to the centre of international develop- ment policy. ‘Development’ itself has failed to provide answers to human suffering and disadvantage, or to fulfil its broad promise to make poor people better off, eventually.

Now the focus is upon that lack itself – defining it, measuring it, and sometimes even venturing to ask directly: What can actually be done about poverty?
