Treaty rights refer to the legal rights and privileges that are established through treaties between Indigenous peoples and governments, often concerning land use, resource management, and self-governance. These treaties are agreements that outline the responsibilities and benefits for both parties, recognizing the sovereignty and cultural practices of Indigenous communities. In many countries, including the United States and Canada, treaty rights are protected by law and can include fishing, hunting, and gathering rights on traditional lands. These rights are essential for preserving the cultural heritage and economic well-being of Indigenous peoples, ensuring they can maintain their traditional ways of life.
