native rights
Aboriginal peoples' claims
Native rights are the legal and moral claims of indigenous peoples to land, resources, self-governance, and cultural preservation.
These rights often predate colonial settlement and may be recognized through treaties, court decisions, or constitutional provisions: The tribe asserted its native rights to fishing grounds.
Native rights discussions frequently involve sovereignty, land claims, and preservation of traditional practices.
