Indigenous identity reclamation

Indigenous identity reclamation is the process of recovering, reviving, and reasserting cultural, linguistic, and spiritual identities after colonization attempted to erase or subordinate them. It is not a return to an unchanged past but a creative reconstruction that honors ancestral knowledge while responding to contemporary realities—a form of resistance and self-determination.
