        abstract = {Protecting tribal rights is essential to social justice and equity, particularly in nations with varied indigenous populations. Constitutional safeguards were established to protect native groups' resources and rights. This research paper examines those safeguards, focusing on the legal systems that uphold them and the latest developments in this area. The rights of indigenous peoples are often threatened due to historical marginalization, encroachment on their ancestral lands, and pressures from economic development and modernity. Thus, in light of contemporary concerns, it is crucial to evaluate the constitutional provisions intended to safeguard their rights, cultures, and identities as well as to carefully review how effective these measures are. Tribal rights have faced both possibilities and challenges as a result of recent legal developments, including historic rulings and legislative revisions. This has led to a critical analysis of the ways in which these changes impact indigenous groups' everyday lives. With a focus on the necessity of solid legal structures that safeguard the rights of tribal communities, this study attempts to examine the link between constitutional law and indigenous rights. By advocating for stronger legal protections and a wider recognition of the unique position of tribal communities, this research aims to broaden the discourse on indigenous rights and perhaps contribute to the creation of a more equitable society.},
