Today marks the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, observed on 9 August each year to raise awareness about the rights and contributions of the world’s Indigenous population. Although there is no generally accepted definition of Indigenous peoples, the focus of the last few years has been on self-identification, cultural difference from other groups in a state, a special relationship with their traditional territory, and an experience of subjugation and discrimination under a dominant cultural model. Despite challenges such as cultural erosion and threats to their natural resources, Indigenous peoples around the world continue to advocate for their rights and preservation of their heritage. International frameworks have been developed to protect these rights, such as the 1989 Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention and the 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.  Shared goals among the international frameworks include self-determination, cultural protection, and access to essential resources.

It's #IndigenousPeoplesDay and the theme for 2024 is Protecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples in Voluntary Isolation and Initial Contact. Around 200 groups of Indigenous Peoples currently live in voluntary isolation and initial contact. They are the best protectors of the forest. Where their collective rights to lands and territories are protected, the forests thrive, alongside their societies. And not only is their survival crucial to the protection of our planet, but it is crucial to the protection of cultural and linguistic diversity. Learn more here: https://nuvi.me/nz11sx

9 August - International Day of the Worlds Indigenous Peoples (United Nations) International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples is marked each year to raise awareness and to protect and promote the rights of the world's Indigenous populations. It is also an opportunity to celebrate these communities and their achievements and knowledge.   This International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples 2024 is focusing on ‘Protecting the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Voluntary Isolation and Initial Contact’.   Indigenous Peoples across the globe have sought recognition of their identities, their way of life and their right to traditional lands, territories and natural resources for years. Yet, throughout history, their rights have been violated. Indigenous Peoples today, are arguably among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable groups of people in the world. The international community now recognizes that special measures are required to protect their rights and maintain their distinct cultures and way of life.   For more information about International Day of the Worlds Indigenous Peoples visit the links above.

Indigenous Peoples Indigenous Peoples are the rightful heirs and practitioners of diverse cultures and unique relationships with both humanity and the environment. They have preserved distinctive social, cultural, economic, and political traits that set them apart from the dominant societies within which they reside. Despite the richness of their cultural heritage, Indigenous Peoples globally face shared challenges in safeguarding their rights as distinct communities.                  For generations, Indigenous Peoples have tirelessly campaigned for the acknowledgment of their identities, customs, and entitlement to ancestral lands, territories, and natural resources. Regrettably, history attests to the perpetual violation of their rights. In contemporary times, Indigenous Peoples remain among the most marginalized and vulnerable populations worldwide. Recognizing this plight, the international community acknowledges the necessity for tailored interventions to uphold their rights and safeguard their unique cultures and ways of life.
