国际法规定了谁拥有自决权，并通过2007年《联合国土著人民权利宣言》（UNDRIP）概述了土著人民的权利。许多联合国会员国，例如我们案例研究的国家，并没有修改其法律以执行开发计划署。这影响到土著人民如何为自己的福祉发挥自决能力。通过利用土著关系理论框架，我们借鉴了与土著方法相结合的方法，提出了两个案例研究，一个在美国，使用了民族志未来研究，一个在孟加拉国，使用了参与性行动研究。我们的论文批判性地讨论了：(1)能力方法如何与土著自决和福祉相关，(2)殖民化如何影响土著人民参与自决能力的能力，(3)土著人民如何定义和利用自决作为个人和集体的能力来实现他们的福祉，以及(4)不自由如何限制土著人民利用自决能力。我们希望这份文件将有助于扩大能力办法，以便能够更充分地与土著人民接触。
International law establishes who has rights to self-determination and outlines the rights of Indigenous people through the 2007 United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Many countries who are United Nations members, such as those of our case studies, have not made changes to their laws to implement UNDRIP. This affects how Indigenous peoples can engage in capabilities for self-determination for their wellbeing. Drawing from methods that are adapted to be in alliance with Indigenous methodologies through utilising Indigenous relational theoretical frameworks, we present two case studies, one in the U.S. that used ethnographic futures research and one in Bangladesh that used participatory action research. Our paper critically discusses: (1) how the capability approach relates to Indigenous self-determination and wellbeing, (2) how colonisation affects the ability of Indigenous people to engage in capabilities for self-determination, (3) how Indigenous people define and utilise self-determination as an individual and collective capability for their wellbeing, and (4) how unfreedoms restrict Indigenous people from utilising the capabilities for self-determination. We hope that this paper will contribute to broadening the capability approach to be able to engage more fully with Indigenous peoples.
