Native Rights movements

Native Rights movements are efforts by Indigenous peoples to protect, restore, and recognize their cultural, land, and political sovereignty. These movements seek to address historical injustices, such as land dispossession, discrimination, and marginalization, by advocating for legal rights, self-governance, and cultural preservation. They often aim to ensure Indigenous communities have control over their traditional territories and resources, and that their voices are included in decision-making processes affecting their lives and heritage. Overall, these movements strive for justice, respect, and equality for Indigenous peoples within broader societies.
