The Miskitu People are an Indigenous nation inhabiting the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, with a long history of communal governance and territorial autonomy. Through community assemblies, councils, and regional Indigenous governments, the Miskitu exercise collective decision-making over land, resources, and social life. Their struggle for autonomy and territorial rights represents a sustained process of Indigenous self-determination, commons governance, and radical democracy.
