In Indigenous 1 domains, the oppressive legacies of colonial administration have had a profound and continuing effect on the interests of Indigenous peoples. Coexistence of Indigenous peoples, and their underlying claims and interests in the land, resources and places that constitute the modern postcolonial states that are governed by a variety of planning systems, is an important area in which social theory can contribute to improved planning practices. One of the key challenges for planning theory, then, is to acknowledge and address the coexistence of peoples with very different sorts of claims to, relationships with and understandings of place – and each other – and its implications for just, equitable and sustainable decision-making in planning systems. The experience of sharing space is often (mis)represented as a frontier of civilization, settlement, order and governance, moving through uncivilized and anarchic Indigenous domains leaving the rule of law and the order of democracy in its wake. Urban, regional and land use planning have been key technologies in both colonial encounters and postcolonial experiences of coexistence. In many places the experience of coexisting pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial social formations is disciplined by urban and regional planning systems, land use zoning regimes and the strict oversight of property markets, development approval regimes and legally � The term Indigenous has no simple, unambiguous definition. It is often used interchangeably with a range of other terms such as ‘aboriginal’, ‘native’, ‘original’, ‘ first nations’ and ‘tribal’ or other similar concepts. In this chapter, the approach adopted is that exemplified by the International Working Group on Indigenous Peoples (IWGIA) whose mission statement notes that ‘Indigenous peoples, belonging to the most marginalized and impoverished groups in the world have the right to be recognized and to have their basic human rights respected. In particular Indigenous peoples have the right to be able to survive as peoples and to maintain and develop their cultures based on their own aspirations, visions and identity, and generally’ ( ). Following the practice recommended by Johnson et al., the terms Indigenous, Native and Aboriginal are generally capitalized in this chapter (Johnson et al. 2007).
