Indigenous Peoples' human rights

Indigenous Peoples’ human rights are their basic rights to maintain their unique cultures, languages, traditions, and land. These rights recognize their right to self-determination, allowing them to make decisions about their communities and resources. They also include protection from discrimination, unfair treatment, and forced removal from their land. Ensuring these rights helps preserve their identity and way of life, promotes equality, and respects their contributions to broader society. Overall, it means recognizing and safeguarding their dignity, freedom, and cultural heritage as equal members of society.
