Indigenous recognition
Indigenous recognition refers to acknowledging and respecting the unique identities, rights, and histories of Indigenous peoples within a country. It involves formal acknowledgment of their cultural heritage, traditional lands, and contributions, and often seeks to address historical injustices. Recognition can be expressed through legal measures, political actions, or cultural symbols, aiming to promote equality, inclusion, and a better understanding of Indigenous peoples' roles in society. It’s a step toward fostering respect, reconciliation, and a more accurate representation of the nation's diverse history and identity.
