Indigenous Rights Movements

Indigenous Rights Movements in Latin America advocate for the recognition and protection of the rights of Indigenous peoples, who have historically faced marginalization, land dispossession, and cultural assimilation since colonial times. These movements focus on issues like land rights, self-determination, access to education, and preservation of traditional cultures. Prominent since the late 20th century, they seek justice and equality through activism, legal reforms, and political representation, emphasizing the importance of Indigenous identities and ancestral lands in the broader context of national development and environmental sustainability.
