Worldwide, there are over 476 million indigenous people across 90 countries, collectively speaking the majority of the world’s 7,000 languages.
This and next week, representatives from these diverse communities are convening at UN Headquarters in
#NYC to share their stories and collaborate on solutions for a brighter future.
The annual meeting of the
#UnitedNations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues is focusing this year on the indigenous peoples’ right to self-determination and the importance of upholding the voices of indigenous youth.
