Caribbean Indigenous Peoples Laws and Treaties

Caribbean Indigenous Peoples Laws and Treaties are legal agreements and policies recognizing the rights of Indigenous communities—such as their cultural heritage, land, and self-governance—in the Caribbean region. These laws aim to protect Indigenous identities, ensure their participation in decision-making, and safeguard traditional lands from exploitation. International treaties, like the ILO Convention 169 and UN declarations, affirm these rights and encourage equitable treatment. Overall, they help preserve Indigenous cultures and enable communities to maintain their way of life within modern legal frameworks.
