ABSTRACT

One of indigenous peoples’ most utmost concerns includes their associations with ancestral and future generations materialising in widely considered intergenerational rights in indigenous worlds. Such novel forms of rights lend themselves particularly well for understanding the multiplying, cumulative and spill-over effects between individual and collective rights frameworks. Colonial traumata and other colonial forms of suffering and injustices inform narratives transmitted intergenerationally and identities alike complementing individual or group-based violations in peoples’ everyday experiences. Elderly and youth prove to be specifically affected by neo-colonial policies and only occasionally enjoy access to participatory rights and societal recognition more generally.
