Indigenous Peoples Questions
The concept of cultural revitalization among Indigenous Peoples refers to the efforts made by these communities to reclaim, preserve, and revive their traditional cultural practices, languages, knowledge systems, and spiritual beliefs. It involves initiatives aimed at strengthening cultural identity, promoting cultural heritage, and passing down traditional customs and values to future generations. Cultural revitalization is seen as a means to counteract the impacts of colonization, assimilation, and cultural erosion, and to ensure the survival and well-being of Indigenous cultures.
