Why is it important?
The process of policymaking on indigenous peoples has shown significant progress, both in terms of quantity and quality. However, this process is generally still trapped in the logic of colonialism in viewing the existence of indigenous peoples, resulting in recognition policies without governance reforms being trapped in normative rather than substantive fulfillment.
Perspectives
International instruments concerning indigenous peoples and their ratifications by governments in various countries have been translated into various forms of policy. Countries that have colonized or been colonized have become the focus of publications. In some countries, indigenous peoples have moved on to secondary demands, but in developing countries, the issue remains related to primary demands, such as the fulfillment of indigenous peoples' human rights.
