Indigenism

Indigenism is a movement or perspective that emphasizes the recognition, rights, and interests of indigenous peoples—native communities with distinct cultural, social, and historical identities. It advocates for the preservation of indigenous cultures, autonomy, and lands, often challenging colonial legacies and policies that marginalized these groups. Indigenism seeks to promote greater understanding, justice, and integration of indigenous perspectives within broader societal and political contexts, respecting their sovereignty and contributions while addressing historical injustices.
