Indigenization has described a process whereby First Peoples, Inuit and Metis have strategically adopted the term Indigenous as a sociopolitical identifier. Being Indigenous is complicated to define but includes being the first in a territory with the ties to the territory being of great cultural significance, being a distinct population, and having experienced colonial or other significant oppression affecting all aspects of life. Indigenization as a strategy focuses on asserting and supporting the core aspects of identity while pushing for recognition of inherent sovereignty and rights as First Peoples. Efforts in Indigenization, such as decolonization of non-indigenous practices and institutions, are having effects in some nations while meeting resistance in others.
