The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is observed on 9 August each year to raise awareness and protect the rights of the world's indigenous population. This event also recognizes the achievements and contributions that indigenous people make to improve world issues such as environmental protection. It was first pronounced by the United Nations General Assembly in December 1994, marking the day of the first meeting of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations of the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in 1982.

The Coalition recognizes the limitations of using English as the main language of communication. We also recognize the challenges and limitations of being an organization exclusively operated by volunteers, with limited capacity, and no funding sources. While we look into the best ways of working towards developing a strategy for multilingual engagement, all suggestions are welcome and appreciated. We thank you for your patience in the meantime.
 

If you know of someone who would like to join the Coalition for whom this is a barrier at the moment, please reach out to us so we can find a collaborative solution.
