Indigenous sovereignty refers to the inherent right of self-governance and autonomy of Indigenous peoples over their lands, resources, and cultural practices. This research area focuses on understanding and documenting the historical and ongoing struggles of Indigenous communities to assert their sovereignty in the face of colonization, displacement, and marginalization. Researchers in this field may examine the legal, political, and social challenges faced by Indigenous peoples in asserting their rights to self-determination and control over their traditional territories. They may also explore the ways in which Indigenous communities are working to revitalize and preserve their languages, cultures, and knowledge systems as a means of asserting their sovereignty. Overall, research in the area of indigenous sovereignty aims to support and amplify the voices of Indigenous peoples as they seek to assert their rights, protect their lands and resources, and build sustainable and self-determined futures for themselves and future generations.
