Indigenous movements
Indigenous movements are efforts by Indigenous peoples to preserve their cultural identities, land rights, and sovereignty. They advocate for recognition of their historical connection to their lands, protect traditional practices, languages, and ensure fair treatment within broader society. These movements seek justice for past injustices like colonization, displacement, and discrimination, often aiming for increased political representation and legal rights. They play a crucial role in promoting respect for Indigenous knowledge and fostering equitable relationships between Indigenous communities and governments or society at large.
