Native American land rights

Native American land rights refer to the legal and historical claims that Indigenous peoples have over their ancestral lands in North America. These rights stem from treaties, government recognition of tribal sovereignty, and historical occupation. Land rights can involve issues like ownership, resource use, and cultural preservation. Many Native American tribes seek to restore lands lost through colonization and government policies. Legal battles and advocacy continue to address these rights, as tribes aim to ensure their sovereignty and maintain their cultural heritage, while dealing with the complexities of modern legal frameworks and land use.
