International Indigenous rights coalitions increasingly involve Indigenous and non-Indigenous civil society organizations (CSOs) with diverse backgrounds and interests. As these organizations more frequently interact and partner with one another, what issues are being emphasized in their advocacy efforts? This study utilizes content analysis of 60 Indigenous rights organizations’ websites, as well as interviews of several leaders and staff, to explore whether African Indigenous organizations emphasize different aspects of Indigenous rights in their messaging and advocacy than their other Indigenous and non-Indigenous coalition partners, We find that African Indigenous CSOs discuss issues of unequal treatment more frequently, and issues of self-determination and assimilation less frequently, than their coalition partners. The messaging of Indigenous organizations outside of Africa contained similar themes as that of non-Indigenous CSOs. This raises questions regarding why these messages differ: do African Indigenous groups have distinct concerns and/or are there other reasons for the variance in messaging across international Indigenous rights coalitions.

国际土著权利联盟越来越多地涉及具有不同背景和利益的土著和非土著民间社会组织 (CSO)。随着这些组织更频繁地相互交流和合作，他们的宣传工作正在强调哪些问题？本研究利用对 60 个土著权利组织网站的内容分析，以及对几位领导人和工作人员的采访，探讨非洲土著组织是否比其他土著和非土著联盟伙伴在其信息和宣传中强调土著权利的不同方面, 我们发现，与联盟伙伴相比，非洲土著公民社会组织更频繁地讨论不平等待遇问题，而较少讨论自决和同化问题。非洲以外的土著组织的信息传递包含与非土著公民社会组织类似的主题。这引发了关于为什么这些信息不同的问题：非洲土著群体是否有不同的关注点和/或是否有其他原因导致国际土著权利联盟之间的信息差异。
