“WE RESPECT AND ADMIRE THE GREAT CULTURES AND WE EXPECT
TO BE RESPECTED AS A WORTHY AND HUMAN PEOPLE”
-Nele Kantule

With this phrase it is possible to celebrate one day, at least one day, the
international day of the world's indigenous peoples.

It is a day to show solidarity by honoring our original cultures of the world

Ignored, discriminated against, peoples without voices in the XXI century

This celebration has the purpose of
strengthening international cooperation or
solidarity by putting into practice the rights
01.
of indigenous peoples to solve the
problems that they live today in human
rights, environment, development, culture,
education, health and mainly their current
and ancestral lands .
Indigenous peoples, like all the
peoples of the world, represent part
of the planet's cultural diversity.
Today it is well known and accepted
that these peoples have given much
to the development of scientific
knowledge, to human development,
to the conservation of biological
diversity, it has not prevented them
from being less favored peoples
Indigenous peoples just need to be recognized
as peoples like other peoples, whose roots are
so deep in the spiritual and natural, that we are
just beginning to discern. on August 9, and not
only that day, but all our lives we must together
celebrate, revalue and preserve the cultural and
natural diversity of the peoples of the world,
whose knowledge is invaluable treasures of
humanity
