(D) Indigenous people

Explanation:

Devolution is the process in which the power is delegated from the central ruling government to the lower stances of the authority. This means, local and regional organizations and departments have the power to rule over their own questions and political problems.

Devolution allows groups of indigenous people to have the governance of their communities. In the United States, there is the sovereignty of Native American tribes. This means they have the authority over their regions, tribes, and community, proclaiming them “domestic dependent nations”. Devolution has importance for them as they can own their own land, control their resources and manage local laws.
