International Day of the World’s Indigenous People

The United Nations General Assembly passed resolution 49/214 on December 23, 1994, designating August 9 as the annual day to celebrate the world's indigenous people.
​
This day is an international day for the protection and promotion of the rights of Indigenous peoples. We’ve paid tribute to the underrepresented women and their hard work in keeping these cultures alive. Extending their efforts, all of us across the world are urged to help spread this message of preservation.
