Executive Summary

The ability of Indigenous peoples to use and protect their land is under threat across the Americas, due to the harmful acts of illegal settlers, miners, drug traffickers, and commercial interests, as well as governments’ failure to protect their rights. The Indian Law Resource Center, the Interethnic Association for the Development of the Peruvian Amazon, and the Coordination of Indigenous Organizations of the Brazilian Amazon will build a permanent Indigenous-led institution to provide essential technical and legal assistance to help Indigenous peoples secure ownership of their lands and to speed up and improve Indigenous land titling processes in Mexico and Central and South America.
