Indigenous Peoples

Definition of Indigenous Peoples as it relates to People, Humanitarians

Indigenous Peoples refers to the original inhabitants of a region who maintain distinct cultural and political identities, traditions, languages, and spiritual beliefs separate from those of the dominant societies that have subsequently occupied these territories. As peoples, they possess inherent collective rights to their lands, territories, resources, self-determination, and worldviews. Humanitarians often engage with Indigenous Peoples due to their unique vulnerabilities arising from historical injustices, marginalization, discrimination, and ongoing colonization processes that have resulted in systemic poverty, social exclusion, environmental degradation, and limited access to basic services. Understanding the complexities of Indigenous Peoples' histories, cultures, and struggles is essential for effective humanitarian action that respects their agency, promotes self-determination, and fosters equitable development.
