🌍 Today, on International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we honor the resilience, wisdom, and rich cultures of Indigenous communities around the globe. 🙌🏽 But we must also recognize the enduring impacts of colonization, which has not only disrupted Indigenous ways of life but continues to do so through neo-colonial practices. The Global North's influence—be it through economic exploitation, cultural erasure, or environmental degradation—continues to marginalize and displace Indigenous peoples, often ignoring their rights and voices. As we stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities, commit to amplifying their voices, supporting their sovereignty, and working towards decolonization in all its forms. It's time to dismantle the structures of power that perpetuate inequality and embrace a future where Indigenous knowledge, land, and people are respected and celebrated. ✊🏽💚 #IndigenousPeoplesDay #DecolonizeNow #ReIndigenize #IndigenousRights #GlobalJustice

Today, we honor the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples around the globe. Indigenous communities represent over 5,000 distinct cultures, speaking more than 7,000 languages, and make up about 6% of the world’s population. This year’s theme, “Protecting the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Voluntary Isolation and Initial Contact” underscores the importance of respecting the autonomy and human rights of Indigenous groups who choose to remain isolated. These communities are often vulnerable to external threats such as land encroachment, environmental degradation, and forced assimilation. At Link2Success, we recognize the invaluable role of Indigenous wisdom and knowledge in shaping a sustainable future. Let’s stand together to safeguard the rights of all Indigenous peoples and support their choices in preserving their ways of life.
