Why is it important to talk about the rights of indigenous peoples?

It is necessary to popularize the concepts and rights guaranteed to peoples indigenous peoples, both in national and international instruments. This is due to a historical debt that western society bears, in view of the countless injustices to which these peoples were and are subjected during the colonial period to the present day, such as the incessant struggles for demarcation of their traditionally occupied lands and for the non-destruction of their cultures.
