The term for the original inhabitants of a land is "indigenous peoples." Indigenous communities have deep historical and cultural ties to their ancestral lands, often predating colonial or modern nation-states. These groups maintain unique traditions, languages, and worldviews that reflect their distinct relationships with their environment. Indigenous peoples often face challenges, including land rights disputes, marginalization, and the preservation of cultural heritage. Recognizing and respecting their rights is crucial for social justice and the protection of biodiversity, as many indigenous practices contribute to sustainable land management and conservation efforts.
