The Jumma Peoples Councils are representative Indigenous governance bodies in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of southeastern Bangladesh, formed by multiple Indigenous nations collectively known as the Jumma peoples. These councils exercise regional and local self-governance over land, culture, and community affairs, grounded in customary law and collective decision-making. Emerging strongly after decades of resistance to militarization and land dispossession, the councils embody an ongoing process of Indigenous self-determination and non-state democratic organization.
