Submitted by ub on

Too many earthlings have been passing by Indigenous Peoples for centuries and must realize they hold the key to survival as the fittest.

Indigenous communities, peoples, and nations are those which, having a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories, consider themselves distinct from other sectors of the societies now prevailing on those territories, or parts of them.

Indigenous Peoples can help lead humanity forward as indispensable partners in developing solutions to avert, minimize and remedy the human rights harm caused by the triple planetary crisis.” 

Among the indigenous peoples are those of the Americas (for example, the Lakota in the USA, the Mayas in Guatemala, or the Aymaras in Bolivia), the Inuit and Aleutians of the circumpolar region, the Saami of northern Europe, the Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders of Australia and the Maori of New Zealand.

 UN Human Rights Chief calls for stronger efforts at the national, regional & global levels to protect Indigenous Peoples from attack & ensure their full, free & safe participation in all environmental decisions.
