Abstract
This article analyzes the implications of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) on United States policies and military engagements with Indigenous populations. It explores the challenges Indigenous communities face in asserting their rights to free, prior, and informed consent in various contexts, including international negotiations and climate change treaties. The article highlights the importance of traditional knowledge, constructive intergovernmental relationships, and adherence to international human rights standards. It discusses concerns related to stability, economic growth, and climate change, and calls for the US to adopt UNDRIP without reservations, enhance Indigenous participation in climate negotiations, and promote transparency and dialogue to address key Indigenous issues.
