Indigenous social movements
Indigenous social movements are organized efforts by Indigenous peoples to promote their rights, land, culture, and sovereignty. These movements seek recognition, justice, and equality, often responding to historical injustices like colonization, displacement, and cultural suppression. They utilize protests, legal actions, and advocacy to raise awareness and influence policies. Through these movements, Indigenous communities aim to preserve their identities and assert control over their ancestral lands and resources, fostering greater respect for their traditions and rights within broader society.
