International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples🍃
Every August 9th, the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples is commemorated in recognition of the first United Nations working meeting on indigenous populations, which took place in Geneva in 1982.
While this recognition is appreciated, every day is a day of resistance for native Peoples arround the world.
There are more than 476 million Indigenous peoples living in 90 countries around the world, representing only 6.2% of the global population, due to genocide and greed of other humans.
Remarkably, they help protect and steward 80% of the Earth’s remaining biodiversity.
We honor their resilience and resistance, culture, wisdom, values, and the care of Mother Nature.

Ps. While we didn’t have pictures of our sisters and brothers in África, middle East, and many other native nations of the world, we offer our gratitude and stand in solidarity.
Everyday is the day of all of those that care for life and Nature 🍃
Jayaya!
