Indigenous rights law

Indigenous rights law recognizes the unique cultural, spiritual, and territorial claims of Indigenous peoples. It ensures they can maintain their traditions, languages, and ways of life while protecting their ancestral lands and resources from unfair use or exploitation. These laws establish legal frameworks that respect Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination, often involving treaties, land rights, and consultation processes. Overall, Indigenous rights law aims to promote equity, justice, and respect for Indigenous peoples’ identities and contributions within broader national legal systems.
