Vanessa Igoe: 土地归还运动是一个全球性的、由土著领导的运动，旨在将土地归还给土著人民。历史上，殖民主义通过武力、欺诈性条约和文化压迫剥夺了土著人民的土地。该运动不仅要求实际占领土地，还要求恢复土著人民的决策权。目前，该运动面临着法律障碍、商业利益的阻碍以及对财产权的争议。尽管面临挑战，土著人民正在通过法律途径、土地购买和要求非土著居民支付土地使用费等方式争取土地权利。 Marie Cacilla: 作为一名土著人民，我认为土地归还运动是为了恢复我们管理、保护和维持领土的固有权利。这不仅仅是口头上的和解，而是要实际归还土地，恢复我们与土地在物质、法律和精神上的联系。同时，土地归还运动也是为了重振我们的文化习俗，确保它们能够传承给后代。我坚信，只有归还土地，才能实现真正的正义。 Ailsa Roy: 作为Wununupali的长老，我们一直为争取土地权利而奋斗。尽管我们向联合国提出了申诉并获得了支持，但在澳大利亚的法律体系中，我们的权利仍然没有得到充分的承认和尊重。我们曾试图通过法院获得权利的承认，但没有成功。我们最大的问题是缺乏法律代表和社区的支持。如果这意味着回到乡村并主张我们的权利，我们将回到乡村。我们希望得到尊重和认可。 Vanessa Racehorse: 研究表明，土著人民虽然只占世界人口的5%，但他们管理着世界上约80%的生物多样性。当土地归还给土著人民时，往往会带来显著的环境效益。例如，Blue Lake归还给Taos Pueblo后，从一个开放的林地变成了受到高度保护的神圣场所。土著人民在与自然共生的过程中积累了丰富的知识和经验，他们的土地管理实践有助于保护环境和生物多样性。我坚信，土地归还运动不仅关乎土著人民的权利，也关乎整个地球的福祉。

Shownotes Transcript

For centuries, Indigenous people around the world have been fighting to reclaim lost land. In most instances, the term Indigenous is used to refer to the people who lived somewhere before colonisers and settlers from a different place arrived. In North America, nearly 99% of Indigenous land has been seized since European colonisers arrived.

These days, an online movement using the hashtag #LandBack is supporting Indigenous people who want to take back their ancestral land.

BBC journalist Vanessa Igoe explains what the movement is and talks us through the arguments for and against it. Marika Sila, an Indigenous Inuit in Canada, explains what the landback movement means to her. Ailsa Roy, a Wunna Nyiyaparli woman, tells us about the challenges they’ve faced trying to reclaim ancestral lands in Western Australia. And Vanessa Racehorse, a Law professor in the US, looks at the impact on the environment when indigenous people reclaim their land.
