As part of the demands, they call for land demarcation and political training for indigenous representation in spaces of power and the fight against illegal mining.
It also calls for equal rights for indigenous women, access to quality health care, education and economic opportunities, and the protection of land and natural resources.
Protesters are also calling for an end to violence against Indigenous women, a widespread problem that has plagued communities for generations.
