At the core of indigenous peoples’ struggle is land rights. “The main challenge that indigenous peoples face is still the continuing disregard or outright violation of our collective rights - particularly to our land, territories and resources, our self-governance or self-determination,” said Carling. “They are put in the name of the state and not under indigenous peoples’ ownership. We are even criminalized when we practice our traditional livelihoods or practices.”
