History of New Zealand
Indigenous rights refer to the collective and individual rights of Indigenous peoples to maintain their culture, identity, and traditional lands. These rights are rooted in the recognition of the unique historical relationships between Indigenous peoples and their territories, and they emphasize self-determination, cultural preservation, and protection against discrimination. Understanding indigenous rights is essential when examining the impact of treaties, such as the Treaty of Waitangi, and the ongoing effects of colonization on Indigenous communities.
