Emigration & Immigration, Social Sciences, Indigenous people 

As migration has not commonly been considered as part of the indigenous experience, the prevalent view of indigenous communities tends to portray them as static groups, deeply rooted in their territories and customs. Increasingly, however, indigenous peoples are leaving their long-held territories as part of the phenomenon of global migration beyond the customary seasonal and cultural movements of particular groups.Diverse examples of indigenous peoples migration, its distinctive features and commonalities are highlighted throughout this report, and show that more research and data on this topic are necessary to better inform policies on migration and other phenomena that have an impact on indigenous peoples lives.Also available:Irregular Migration and Trafficking in Women : The Case of Turkey - ISBN 9290681780Return Migration: Policies and Practices in Europe - ISBN 929068190XThe International Organization for Migration (IOM) IOM is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society.
