🌍 Today, on International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we raise awareness of the rights and contributions of Indigenous communities around the globe. Indigenous Peoples make up less than 6% of the world's population but account for 15% of the poorest and are stewards of 28% of the Earth's surface, protecting 11% of the world's forests. They are vital to the protection of our planet’s biodiversity and the preservation of cultural heritage. At I-DIEM, we stand with Indigenous communities both in the U.S. and abroad. Our work has supported the resilience of Tribal communities in the Gulf Coast Region, and our documentary, MUTED, highlights the efforts of these communities as they confront the diverse impacts of climate change. Join us in recognizing the achievements and resilience of Indigenous Peoples and in committing to protect their rights and traditions. 🔗 Learn more about International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples: https://lnkd.in/ghR-5Zv ▶ Watch MUTED: www.I-DIEM.org/Muted #WeAreIndigenous #IndianCountry #Indigenous #WeAreMuted #ClimateChange #Resilience #Biodiversity #HumanRights

According to United Nations estimates, over 200 Indigenous groups on the planet remain uncontacted. These People live in voluntary isolation from the world, protecting and preserving their cultures and languages. With their hunter-gatherer mobility patterns, they are the best stewards of the forests, preserving the planet's biodiversity. As a Certified Indigenous Business, RWI Synthetics honours Indigenous Peoples' rights to self-determination to keep their culture and traditions alive. On August 9, we recognize the 2024 International Day of the World's Indigenous People with the theme "Protecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples in Voluntary Isolation and Initial Contact" to ensure these people live peacefully. #Indigenous #WeAreIndigenous #IndigenousPeoples #IDWIP #VoluntaryIsolation

This day reminds us of the importance of recognizing and respecting the rights of Indigenous peoples, who continue to face significant challenges, including land rights issues, environmental degradation, and social inequality. Their wisdom and connection to the Earth offer valuable lessons as we strive to address global challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss. As we commemorate this day, let us reflect on how we can support Indigenous communities in their efforts to preserve their cultures, languages, and way of life. Whether through advocacy, education, or collaboration, every action counts in ensuring that the voices of Indigenous peoples are heard and respected. Let’s commit to learning from and standing with Indigenous communities, recognizing that their resilience and knowledge are key to building a more just and sustainable future for all. #WorldIndigenousPeoplesDay #IndigenousRights #Sustainability #CulturalHeritage #DiversityAndInclusion #RespectAndRecognition

🤲🏽 How Ancestral Indigenous Wisdom Guides the Rapa Nui’s Response to Global Challenges From Covid-19 to climate change, the Rapa Nui People have evoked ancestral Indigenous knowledge to find pathways to face multiple crises, demonstrating how communities can act responsibly to protect themselves and others. Today, self-governance is leading the way forward for this community living on Rapa Nui Island, also known as Easter Island, which is particularly vulnerable to climate change. The Rapa Nui People is an inspiring member of the Wayfinders Circle, where 15 Indigenous Peoples from around the world share, learn, and inspire each other for the benefit of their communities’ identity and self-determination and of all life on Earth. The Wayfinders Circle is convened by Nia Tero, Pawanka Fund, and the World Union of Indigenous Spiritual Practitioners (WUISP). 👉🏾 Read our article about how ancestral Indigenous concepts guide the Rapa Nui’s response to planetary challenges. https://lnkd.in/dwehi4PU #wayfinderscircle #IndigenousGuardians  #IndigenousKnowledge #rapanui #climatechange 

The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is marked annually on 9 August. This year's theme is Protecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples in voluntary isolation and initial contact. "In today's hyper-connected world, the existence of Indigenous Peoples in voluntary isolation and initial contact is a testament to the rich and complex tapestry of humanity." #IndigenousPeoples are among the most vulnerable populations in the world, and they are the "guardians of the environment, protectors of biodiversity, and practitioners of unique cultures, traditions, languages, and knowledge." Protecting #Indigenousrights and territories is a matter of justice and a powerful #climatesolution for #peopleandtheplanet! #IndigenousPeoplesDay #climatejustice #ProtectOurPlanet #GuardiansOfTheEarth #IndigenousWisdom #CulturalHeritage #ClimateAction Read more: https://lnkd.in/g3abNeVJ

Today, on International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we shed light on the vital importance of protecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples in voluntary isolation and initial contact. Around 200 groups globally choose to live detached from the modern world, preserving their cultures, languages, and ecosystems. Despite their choice for autonomy, they face threats from external activities like deforestation and disease exposure. Let's work together to promote respect and equality, amplifying their voices, safeguarding their lands, and unique heritage for a sustainable future. The date, 9 August, represents the first meeting, in 1982, of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations. #WeAreIndigenous #IndigenousPeoplesDay #CulturalHeritage #ZewWorld #Sustainability #ClimateAction #ProtectOurHeritage #CulturalPreservation

Today marks the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, a day to recognize and celebrate the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous communities worldwide. Indigenous Peoples' territories, covering 28% of the globe's surface and 11% of the world's forests, are the guardians of most of the world's remaining biodiversity. Their food systems, with high levels of self-sufficiency, ranging from 50% to 80% in food and resource generation, are crucial for our planet's sustainability. At Cementation, our commitment to respect and diversity is unwavering. On this significant day, we reaffirm the importance of acknowledging the pivotal roles of Indigenous Peoples in preserving our planet, respecting cultural diversity, and fostering mutual learning for a brighter future. The United Nations is focusing on 'Protecting the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Voluntary Isolation and Initial Contact' this year.

🌿 Land is life! The future of our planet and our communities is deeply rooted in land — and the Indigenous Peoples of the world have been its stewards for a long time. 🍀 By moving resources towards overlooked and marginalised communities like our indigenous peoples we honor their critical contributions in building a world rooted in balance, justice and interconnectedness. #WeAreIndigenous #IndigenousDay #EveryoneIncluded #FeministFunding ----------------- Video Description: A text-based animated video featuring graphics of a person holding up a sign that says "Indigenous Justice is Climate Justice" in front of a forest field landscape. The text appears on screen one by one and reads as follows: "There are 476 million Indigenous Peoples in 90 countries, making up less than 6.2% of the world's population but at least 15% of the poorest. By moving resources towards overlooked and marginalised communities like our Indigenous peoples, we honour their critical contributions to building a world rooted in balance, justice and interconnectedness. Comprising only 6.2% of the world's population, they safeguard 80% of the planet's biodiversity. And so they are deeply connected, deeply rooted in the climate justice movement around the world as leaders and movement actors. Indigenous Peoples' rights and culture must be defended and advanced! Honoring their critical contributions in promoting social justice and equality."
