Malik Shabazz, Message to the Grassroots: “Revolution is based on land. Land is the basis of all independence. Land is the basis of freedom, justice, and equality.”[1] (Image: Movement Generation)

An essential element of Climate Reparations, the Just Transition, Indigenous Food Sovereignty, and Climate Revolution.

Growing scientific evidence verifies that upholding, restoring, and strengthening Indigenous Land Rights is the most effective way to prevent deforestation across the planet.[2] Hundreds of studies on the effectiveness of Native land reclamation in the Kawsak Sacha (Amazon Rainforest) have shown that restoring Indigenous Sovereignty therein has prevented billions of tons of carbon emissions.[3][4]

The United Nations

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was adopted by the UN General Assembly on Thursday, 13 September 2007 with 144 votes in favor.[5] The Declaration consists of a preamble listing 24 notes (emphasizing, recognizing, encouraging), followed by 46 articles outlining Indigenous rights.

UNDRIP

The UNDRIP establishes an international legal framework centering Indigenous Rights essential to the climate just transition, including Land Back.

The Declaration clearly enshrines the international legal right of Indigenous Peoples to:

1) Have control over their land, territories, and resources (Preamble);

2) Conserve and protect the environment and the productive capacity of their lands, territories, and resources (Article 29);

3) Strengthen their relationship with their land to uphold responsibilities to future generations (Article 25);

4) Receive legal recognition and protection from states respecting Indigenous land tenure systems and rights to traditional land, territories, and resources (Article 26);

5) Restitution of lands, territories, and resources taken, occupied, used or damaged without free, prior and informed consent (Article 28);[6]

The Red Nation

The Red Nation is a radical Indigenous-led coalition that advocates for environmental justice and Land Back for Indigenous Nations. On their website, the Red Nation lays out their basic foundational praxis: We govern ourselves and our relations according to one simple philosophy: be a good relative.

The Red Deal

The Red Nation's concise 6-point program features Land Back:

Point 3: We demand land back: Mother Earth belongs to nobody, rather we all belong to her. We must restore correct relations with Mother Earth because land is the basis of our livelihoods. Land must be returned to the original caretakers.[7]
