Indigenous Rights and disability rights are interconnected. Many Indigenous communities face higher rates of disability due to systemic issues like poverty and lack of access to healthcare.


Indigenous peoples with disabilities experience a double burden of discrimination. This affects their access to education, healthcare, and culturally appropriate support services.


Understanding Indigenous Rights requires acknowledging the unique challenges faced by Indigenous people with disabilities. We must promote inclusive policies and practices.


This includes respecting self-determination, incorporating traditional knowledge, and ensuring accessibility for all. Indigenous Rights are human rights.
