Native populations refer to the original inhabitants of a particular region, often referred to as Indigenous peoples. Research in this area focuses on understanding their cultural, social, and environmental practices, as well as addressing the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization and marginalization on these populations. This research also strives to promote the rights and well-being of Indigenous communities and to support the preservation of their languages, traditions, and ways of life. Topics of study may include land rights, health disparities, cultural revitalization, and sustainable development initiatives within Indigenous communities.
