Indigenous Uprisings
Indigenous uprisings refer to movements by Indigenous peoples to resist colonization, oppression, and the violation of their rights. These uprisings often arise in response to land dispossession, cultural erasure, and social injustices. Historical examples include the Túpac Amaru II rebellion in Peru and the Wounded Knee Incident in the United States.
These movements aim to reclaim sovereignty, protect traditional lands, and assert cultural identity. Indigenous uprisings can take various forms, including protests, armed resistance, and legal battles. They highlight the ongoing struggles faced by Indigenous communities and their efforts to achieve justice and recognition.
