Architecture preservation and indigenous rights are interconnected as the architecture of a community can be a symbol of its identity and cultural heritage. When indigenous architecture is preserved, it helps to preserve the indigenous culture and history. In some cases, indigenous architecture may also have spiritual or ceremonial significance, which reinforces the connection between indigenous rights and architecture preservation. The loss of indigenous architecture can lead to the loss of cultural identity, which impacts the social, economic, and political rights of indigenous people. Therefore, it is essential to consider the cultural significance of indigenous architecture in architecture preservation efforts and to involve indigenous communities in the decision-making process regarding their heritage.
