Indigenous Movement
The Indigenous Movement refers to the collective efforts of Indigenous peoples worldwide to assert their rights, preserve their cultures, and protect their lands. This movement seeks recognition of their sovereignty and self-determination, often advocating for legal rights and social justice. It encompasses various issues, including land rights, environmental protection, and cultural preservation.
Many Indigenous groups, such as the Maori in New Zealand and the Native American tribes in the United States, have mobilized to address historical injustices and ongoing discrimination. The movement often collaborates with organizations like the United Nations to promote Indigenous rights on a global scale, emphasizing the importance of traditional knowledge and practices.
