Indigenous peoples are a distinct social and cultural group with a long history of intergenerational stewardship of the land and its resources, whether they now occupy that land or have been forced from it. All aspects of their lives, including their bodily and mental health, culture, and way of life, are intertwined with the land and natural resources upon which they rely.
