Mapping

We strive to map Indigenous territories, treaties, and languages across the world in a way that goes beyond colonial ways of thinking in order to better represent how Indigenous people want to see themselves.

When I was in high school I attended a Upward Bound program in Colorado where even me as a Native American student received a major culture shock. This was the first time that my eyes truly opened up to the world and diversity. That summer in one of my creative writing courses we participated in a debate of terms: American Indian v. Native American. This was when I truly learned the meaning of indigenous. Of course for me, Native American culture is my first thought, but indigenous cultures change and vary based on the location and beliefs of the people.

Indigenous cultures that exist today across the globe have deep, historic roots that trace back across the centuries in those places. They are also evolving, and shouldn't be considered static or antiquated.

Many indigenous cultures are discriminated against based on their beliefs and practices.

There are 476 million Indigenous people around the world and spread across more than 90 countries. They belong to more than 5,000 different Indigenous peoples and speak more than 4,000 languages. Indigenous people represent about 5% of the world's population. The vast majority of them - 70% - live in Asia.
Although they have different customs and cultures, they face the same harsh realities: eviction from their ancestral lands, being denied the opportunity to express their culture, physical attacks and treatment as second-class citizens.

Indigenous peoples are often marginalized and face discrimination in countries' legal systems, leaving them even more vulnerable to violence and abuse. Indigenous human rights defenders who speak out face intimidation and violence, often supported by the state. In addition, individuals may be physically attacked and killed just for belonging to an Indigenous people.

Peaceful efforts by Indigenous Peoples to maintain their cultural identity or exercise control over their traditional lands, which are often rich in resources and biodiversity, have led to accusations of treason or terrorism.

Discrimination is the reason why Indigenous peoples make up 15% of the world's extreme poor. Globally, they also suffer higher rates of landlessness, malnutrition and internal displacement than other groups.

Amnesty International has worked to defend the rights of Indigenous peoples in all regions of the world and demands that states apply and develop urgently needed laws to protect their lands, cultures and livelihoods.
