Indigenous Resistance

Indigenous resistance refers to the efforts by Indigenous peoples to protect their lands, culture, rights, and autonomy against colonization, assimilation, or exploitation. It involves protests, legal battles, cultural revival, and community actions aimed at preserving their identity and sovereignty. This resistance highlights their ongoing struggle to have their voices heard and their rights recognized, often in response to historical and ongoing injustices. It is a vital part of sustaining Indigenous traditions and affirming their status as stewards of their lands and communities.
