Native Hawaiians and Aboriginal Australians resist threats to their sacred places in a growing international movement to defend human rights and protect the environment. In Australia’s Northern Territory, Aboriginal clans maintain Indigenous Protected Areas and resist the destructive effects of mining boom. In Hawai’i, indigenous ecological and spiritual practices are used to restore the sacred island of Kaho’olewe after 50 years of military use as a bombing range.
