 Overview
Unique and Distinct
Indigenous peoples number over 300 million and represent approximately 4% of the world’s population.
United by many common experiences, including histories of marginalization and struggles for cultural survival, indigenous peoples are nonetheless each unique and distinct.
Indigenous Peoples have been working with the United Nations to name and assert their collective rights for decades. In fact, August 9, the International Day, commemorates the first meeting of the U.N. Commission on Human Rights Working Group on Indigenous Populations in 1982.
