Indigenous rights are the rights of Indigenous peoples that are based on their distinct history, culture, and way of life. These rights are recognized in international law and are essential for the survival, dignity, and well-being of Indigenous peoples.
Who are Indigenous peoples?
Indigenous peoples are distinct groups of people who have their own unique culture, history, and way of life. They often live in close connection with their traditional lands and resources. Indigenous peoples have the right to self-determination, which means that they have the right to freely determine their own political status and pursue their own economic, social, and cultural development.
