In the video Laure McElroy reads from Article 28, section 1, of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples:

Indigenous peoples have the right to redress, by means that can include restitution or, when this is not possible, just, fair and equitable compensation, for the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned or otherwise occupied or used, and which have been confiscated, taken, occupied, used or damaged without their free, prior and informed consent.

--Adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on September 13, 2007.
