'Secede' means "to formally withdraw from a federation of states or a political organization such as a government. After secession an oppressed people can then legally create their own new government.
The 3 most compelling arguments for the right of secession for indigenous People are:
1 - If a government is commiting genocide and is exterminating or killing it's indigenous people.
2 - Indigenous people also have the right to secede when subject to 'ethnic flooding' - which is causing them to lose their ancestral lands through a deliberate policy of the government to transfer a non-indigenous population into an indigenous territory.
3 - Secession is also justified if indigenous people face massive discrimination and denial of human rights.
