Indigenous tribes are groups of people who have historical ties to a specific region and maintain their cultural practices, languages, and traditions. These tribes often have unique social structures and governance systems, reflecting their deep connection to the land and their ancestors. Examples include the Navajo, Sioux, and Cherokee tribes in North America. The preservation of Indigenous cultures is vital for maintaining biodiversity and ecological knowledge. Many tribes engage in sustainable practices that have been passed down through generations. Efforts to protect their rights and lands continue, as seen in movements like Idle No More and the fight against DAPL (Dakota Access Pipeline).
