Scenarios about 'indigenous sovereignty'
Indigenous sovereignty refers to the inherent right of Indigenous peoples to govern themselves, their territories, and resources according to their own laws, customs, and traditions. This concept encompasses ongoing struggles for self-determination, cultural preservation, and recognition of pre-colonial governance systems that existed before European colonization. In alternate history scenarios, indigenous sovereignty often explores how different colonial encounters, treaty negotiations, or resistance movements might have led to vastly different power relationships between Indigenous nations and settler states.
