Indigenous lands refer to territories that are traditionally owned or occupied by Indigenous peoples. These lands are often rich in cultural significance and are integral to the identity, traditions, and livelihoods of the communities that inhabit them. Indigenous lands can include forests, mountains, rivers, and other natural resources that have been managed sustainably for generations. The recognition of Indigenous lands is important for respecting the rights of Indigenous peoples and preserving their cultural heritage. Many countries have legal frameworks aimed at protecting these lands, acknowledging the historical injustices faced by Indigenous communities, and promoting their self-determination and stewardship of the environment.
