Indigenous Land Rights Movement

The Indigenous Land Rights Movement seeks to recognize and protect the traditional lands of Indigenous peoples, who have cultural, spiritual, and historical ties to their territories. Historically, colonization and government policies often marginalized or dispossessed Indigenous communities of their land. The movement aims for legal recognition, land restitution, and self-determination, allowing Indigenous peoples to manage their lands according to their customs and needs. It emphasizes respecting Indigenous sovereignty, preserving cultural heritage, and addressing past injustices related to land loss. Overall, it is about ensuring Indigenous communities have control over their ancestral territories.
