Global Indigenous People’s Crisis

Defining Indigenous People… We are descended from the pre-colonial/pre-invasion inhabitants of our region. We maintain a close tie to our land in both our cultural and economic practices. We suffer from economic and political marginalization as a minority group. A group is considered Indigenous if it defines itself that way.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES HOLD 20% OF THE EARTH’S LAND MASS. THAT LAND HARBORS 80% OF THE WORLD’S REMAINING BIODIVERSITY.

Countries will enforce laws that make indigenous people equal to their non-native compatriots. Nations with indigenous people will be required to provide financial support and create anti-discriminatory laws. However, self governance will not be permitted until the indigenous people are able to prove that they can be self sufficient. Moved by ; Australia Seconded; India
