Abstract

As indigenous peoples, we claim the rights that are established by the two international covenants. These are the basic tenants that we use. Above all, as indigenous peoples, we claim the right to self-determination. The second paragraph of the Article from the two international covenants notes that “all people have the right to ‘freely determine their political status’ and that ‘for their own ends, they can ‘freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources’ from their lands and territories, and in ‘no case may a people be deprived of its own means of subsistence’”
