The right of indigenous people to communal land
(2009) Choma, Hlako; Makulana, Walter
The component of indigenous culture is founded on the concept of having responsibilities to the collective rights than simply enjoying the rights. The Indigenous people have an essential element of the relationship to nature as such indigenous concepts are not confined to human beings only, however include all living things. The collective rather than individualistic nature of Indigenous society, thus define the individual and collective rights. The human rights, in some ways share certain parallels or philosophical strains with the general practices, custom, and value of Indigenous societies . Land is the foundation for the economic substance of Indigenous people and for the continued survival of their cultures. One major problems faced by Indigenous people is the disposition of their traditional lands and territories.
