The International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples is celebrated globally on 9 August. It marks the date of the inaugural session of the Working Group on Indigenous Populations in 1982. It’s a day to reflect on the challenges Indigenous peoples face all over the world and to take steps toward promoting and protecting their rights. The event recognizes and honours their achievements, and it’s also a great time to reflect on and celebrate Indigenous culture, tradition, and heritage.
Indigenous youth are playing an active role in exercising their right to self-determination, as their future depends on the decisions that are made today.
