Indigenous justice

Indigenous justice refers to legal and social practices that acknowledge and respect the cultural values and traditions of Indigenous communities. It emphasizes community involvement, healing, and restoration rather than punishment. This approach seeks to address the root causes of conflict and crime by focusing on relationships, accountability, and healing for victims and offenders alike. Indigenous justice systems often incorporate traditional practices and dialogue, providing a way for Indigenous people to address grievances within their own cultural context, promoting social harmony and community resilience while seeking to rectify historical injustices.
