This is a report of a national conference on issues concerning the ethnic communities of Bangladesh. The report compiles information and reflections on Adivasi issues such as their identity question; constitutional recognition; civil, political and cultural rights; land rights; access to education; and customary rights over forest resources. The conference was a follow-up of a number of national events and research on Adivasi issues.
