Indigenous Participation in Mining

Indigenous participation in mining involves Indigenous communities actively engaging in decisions and benefits related to mining activities on their lands. This includes strategies such as consultations, agreements, and partnerships that recognize their rights, cultures, and environmental concerns. The goal is to ensure Indigenous peoples have a meaningful say in how mining projects proceed, share economic benefits, and protect their environmental and cultural heritage. Promoting Indigenous participation fosters social equity, respects sovereignty, and helps create more sustainable and mutually beneficial development in regions where mining occurs.
