土著社区发现自己在各种发展背景下发生的社会经济变革中处于不利地位。土地和森林、水等相关资源产权的变化普遍对他们的生计产生了不利影响，因为他们的生计几乎完全依赖这些资源及其所属的生态系统。这些变化背后的历史进程有其政治、经济和文化特点。深入了解土著社区传统居住地产权的转变，对于把握这些特点和变化的社会经济后果至关重要。财产权可以被描述为一套经济和社会关系，这些关系确定了每个人在利用资源方面的地位（Furubotn和Pejovich，1972）。
Indigenous communities find themselves at the losing end of socio-economic changes taking place in diverse contexts of development. Changes in property rights to land and related resources such as forests and water have universally had adverse effects on their livelihoods, which are almost absolutely dependent on these resources and the ecosystems to which they belong. The historical processes behind these changes have their political, economic and cultural specificities. A deep understanding of transitions in property rights in the traditional habitations of indigenous communities is crucial in capturing these specificities and the socio-economic consequences of the changes. Property rights could be described as the set of economic and social relations that define the position of each individual with respect to the utilization of a resource (Furubotn and Pejovich 1972).
