Who should have territorial rights? In this project, Paulina Ochoa Espejo turns to Derecho Indiano (Spanish Colonial Law) to find historical examples to argue that territorial rights do not belong to individuals, pre-political peoples, or legitimate states; instead it is grounded communities—pueblos—that do and should have these entitlements.
