Indigenous Governance
Indigenous Governance refers to the systems and structures of leadership, decision-making, and authority within Indigenous communities. It encompasses the traditional practices, customs, and values that guide how Indigenous peoples govern themselves, manage resources, resolve conflicts, and maintain social order. Indigenous Governance is rooted in the principles of self-determination, community consensus, and respect for the land and natural environment. It reflects the unique cultural identities and histories of Indigenous peoples, while also adapting to changing social, political, and economic realities.
