Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) is an evolving concept that acknowledges Indigenous Peoples’ legitimate decision-making authority to approve or disapprove of activities proposed by outsiders on the land to which their culture and identity is intrinsically bound. While there is not yet an agreed upon universal definition, FPIC is a clear concept and a useful way to ensure that the rights of Indigenous Peoples (IP) to make decisions about their land are respected.
