The Legacy of Land: Philanthropy’s Role in Restoring Indigenous Territory Rights

Land is more than a resource; it is the foundation of culture, history, and identity, especially for Indigenous Peoples, whose very existence is inextricably linked to their ancestral territories. The loss and fragmentation of these lands due to colonization and expansionist policies have led to profound cultural and social upheaval. Restoration of land rights is not purely a return of property; it represents a pathway to healing, self-determination, and the reclamation of history. In this critical junction, philanthropic organizations hold a unique position: possessing the resources, influence, and networks to champion the restoration of Indigenous land rights and support the resilience of Indigenous communities. <a href="https://medium.com/@nichlas.emmons/the-legacy-of-land-philanthropys-role-in-restoring-indigenous-territory-rights-63e526f004cb">Website</a>
