Indigenous land struggles

Indigenous land struggles involve Native communities fighting to preserve their ancestral territories from being taken or misused by governments, corporations, or others. These lands hold cultural, spiritual, and economic significance, and desecration or displacement threaten their identities and ways of life. Many Indigenous peoples seek recognition of their rights to land ownership, protection of sacred sites, and control over natural resources. These struggles highlight ongoing issues of marginalization, historical injustices, and the need for respect and fair treatment in land management and development decisions.
