Homelands

Homelands are designated areas set aside for specific indigenous or minority groups, often recognized historically or legally as their traditional territory. These regions serve to preserve cultural identity, provide self-governance, and respect land rights. The concept often involves balancing the group's desire for autonomy with national governance, addressing issues such as land rights, cultural preservation, and political representation. Homelands aim to support the group's way of life while integrating them within the broader national framework, recognizing their unique connection to the land and historical significance.
