The Indigenous Peoples of the World

Indigenous Peoples are communities native to specific regions, with distinct cultures, languages, and traditions that have developed over generations. They often have deep connections to their land and rely on traditional practices for their livelihoods. Despite their rich cultural heritage, many face challenges like marginalization, loss of rights, and threats to their environments caused by modernization and exploitation. Recognized globally, indigenous peoples seek to preserve their identity, secure their lands, and regain autonomy, emphasizing the importance of respecting their human rights and contributions to global cultural diversity.
