Indigenous peoples fought for over 20 years to get the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples approved in 2007. This was a big win because it recognized their right to self-determination and to their lands, territories, and resources. The process was tough because Member States had to deal with these complex issues. The Declaration is especially important for indigenous Australia.
