Saturday is the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples. More than 476 million Indigenous Peoples live across 90 countries, speaking the majority of the world’s 7,000 languages. They play a crucial role in protecting our planet and preserving cultural and linguistic diversity. “Indigenous Peoples are guardians of ancient knowledge, defenders of cultural heritage, stewards of biodiversity and essential to our shared future,” said #UnitedNations Secretary-General antonioguterres. Join us in celebrating Indigenous Peoples everywhere and calling for their rights to be protected and upheld — today and always. 📷: UN DESA & UN Photo #WeAreIndigenous #IndigenousDay
