Indigenous Land Use
Indigenous Land Use refers to the traditional practices and stewardship of land by Indigenous peoples. This includes their methods of farming, hunting, fishing, and gathering that have developed over thousands of years. These practices are often closely tied to their cultural identity, spirituality, and historical connections to the land. Indigenous Land Use emphasizes sustainable management and respect for the environment, recognizing the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem health. It highlights the need to acknowledge and protect Indigenous rights and knowledge in land management discussions and practices today.
