Indigenous People

With the help of the example of Land-Grant-Universities, Tiara Roxanne explaines, how historical injustices still exist for Indigenous peoples from the North American region, due to the ongoing persistence of settler colonialism.

For centuries, resources have been extracted from the African continent without adequate payment or compensation. With colonialism, Khoikhoi and San, the first inhabitants of Southern Africa, lost their land and many lost their lives. During decades of Apartheid they were racially discriminated and still have to fight for political and economic inclusion in the post-Apartheid era. We spoke to the Khoikhoi lawyer Lesle Jansen about her fight for the community and for the legal acknowledgement of the cultural heritage of Indigenous people.
