Indigenous rights
Indigenous rights refer to the legal and human rights that recognize the unique cultural, social, and political status of Indigenous peoples. These rights aim to protect their land, resources, and traditions, ensuring they can maintain their identities and ways of life. International frameworks, such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, support these rights globally.
These rights include the right to self-determination, which allows Indigenous communities to govern themselves and make decisions about their own affairs. Additionally, Indigenous peoples have the right to preserve their languages, cultures, and traditional practices, fostering respect for their heritage and contributions to society.
