Happy International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples! Today we celebrate Indigenous people around the world.

2017 marks the 10th Anniversary of the UN declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The adoption of the Declaration by the General Assembly 10 years ago was a milestone in UN history. It embodies global consensus on the rights of indigenous peoples, including the rights to self-determination, traditional lands, territories and resources, education, culture, health, and development.

We hope you have a deadly day!
