Abstract: The objective of this article is to develop a broader world consciousness concerning the problems created due to the intellectual lethargy that has surrounded the Indigenous Peoples Question. This is evident by the non-availability of an official definition of this group of people and the dearth of scholarship in the area. The people have resorted to self-help indicating that the lingering problem might escalate if nothing concrete is done to find a lasting solution to the Indigenous Peoples Question. This article emphasizes that the issue is no longer a local, regional or third world affair, but a global affair which requires the attention of all peace lovers. The author has relied on scholarly literature, a variety of current news sources, and international organizations documents as well as firsthand knowledge from the many years spent living in Nigeria during the author’s youthand early years practicing law.
