Spatial Dataset of Indigenous Population Areas in Cambodia and Myanmar with Protocol for Developing Spatial Data of Indigenous Population Areas using the World Language Mapping System Dataset

This dataset includes spatial data (shapefile) of Indigenous population areas in Cambodia and Myanmar based on a protocol that uses the World Language Mapping System dataset. The protocol is designed to use the World Language Mapping System spatial dataset to develop spatial data on where predominant ethnic groups have characteristics of Indigeneity (Indigenous population areas) documented in the literature. Characteristics of Indigeneity are drawn from Section F of the United Nations Report on ‘The Study of the Problem of Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations’ by Special Rapporteur, Mr. José Martínez Cobo (the Martínez Cobo Study).
