Abstract
The number and variety of Indigenous psychologies has grown immensely in the 75 years since the end of World War II. To date, there has been a dearth of histories of these psychologies, though brief descriptive historical introductions in articles are common. The approach of this chapter is to provide a critical rationale for understanding the challenges that face Indigenous psychologies, as well as the challenge of writing critical histories. Just as there are a multiplicity of Indigenous psychologies and many possible histories, so there are multiple rationales for writing histories of Indigenous psychologies. The chapter provides one intellectual and critical rationale based in decolonization approaches and decolonial theory that will be of use for future historians. The chapter also provides a substantial list of published resources to aid the development of future histories.

Further Reading
Published Resources of Contemporary Accounts of Indigenous Psychology(ies)
The authors take quite seriously the caution of James Charlton quoted above, “Nothing about us, without us” (2018). So, rather than write a history or histories of the otherwise of Indigenous psychologies, the chapter offers a set of published accounts that may serve as places to begin such histories. The sets of articles noted below are indicative rather than comprehensive, so the serious reader will need to explore further
The list of readings does not include articles that specifically theorize Indigenous psychology, though many of the authors do include some measure of theoretical justification for why they are developing an Indigenous psychology. The Allwood volume (2018) includes references to a number of such articles, and they are worth perusing. Theory is also at the forefront of the special issue of the Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology edited by Louise Sundarajan (2019). Some of the most powerful arguments, theoretical and otherwise, can be found in the writings of Enriquez listed below, along with work by Martin-Baro. Girishwar Misra and many of his colleagues in India have been at the forefront of developing Indigenous psychologies in India. There is a volume forthcoming that features historical and theoretical work on Indigenous psychologies in India (Misra, Sanyal, & De, in press)
One of the best places to begin in a literature search on Indigenous psychology is Carl Martin Allwood’s recent The Nature and Challenges of Indigenous Psychologies (2018). Allwood is a Swedish cognitive psychologist who has published several key pieces on Indigenous psychologies (e.g., Allwood, 2011, 2018, 2019; Allwood & Berry, 2006). Allwood employs an anthropology of knowledge and science studies framework in his analyses of IPs. He is sensitive to situate IPs in historical and cultural context, but his accounts are not histories, per se. Allwood uses a geographical division so that IPs are grouped by region and/or country. It is worth keeping in mind that the demarcation of IPs by country can be problematic. Many countries have multiple racial and ethnic groups, so it would be difficult to imagine one Indigenous psychology for an entire country would cover the waterfront, so to speak
