The issue of indigenous rights in the various territories is a challenge that contemporary societies and governments are facing, with more or less respect for their demands and traditions. Their different contributions for their societies, their role in conserving the environment, their cultural traditions, their values, their way of living, all these factors become even more important in the face of the challenges of contemporary societies. The several ways of living of indigenous peoples, named in different ways in the various regions of the planet, would be better known by their biographies, making it possible to understand a picture of their situation in their rich singularities. The various concepts related to modernization and sustainable consumption, for example, can be redefined from the contribution of the indigenous peoples. The tension between their rights and the different national cultures may be the object of analysis of contemporary societies.
This session is interested in all researches that have been developed about the different perspectives of the indigenous peoples, mainly through biographical cases.
