native rights
Native rights refer to the legal and moral entitlements of indigenous peoples to their land, culture, and resources. These rights are often recognized in international law, such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which emphasizes the importance of self-determination and cultural preservation for native communities.
In many countries, native rights include the right to manage traditional lands and access natural resources. This can involve treaties or agreements with governments that acknowledge the historical and ongoing connection of indigenous peoples to their territories, as seen in cases involving tribal nations in the United States and First Nations in Canada.
