Nomadic Indigenous Peoples and the Law Self Determination, Land Rights and Justice in India

This book investigates the unique challenges faced by nomadic Indigenous Peoples in claiming self-determination and rights to their ancestral lands.Nomadic or mobile Indigenous peoples have been largely ignored in the wider context of Indigenous land rights, but such groups often even more marginalised than other Indigenous Peoples. Focusing on the Indian Forest Rights Act, this book explores how access to justice remains uneven and elusive for mobile Indigenous communities who have been dispossessed of their lands.
