August 9th is International Day of the World's Indigenous People!!!
I know this is not something that most people on earth ever even think about because they have no respect or acknowledgment of Indigenous people no matter where they are in the world, but EVERYONE SHOULD!!!! The people that are still alive today with this direct ancestry link are super important to this world!!! They are the last people that still hold the values, culture, and traditions of original people of this earth whom we are all descendent from in the first place!!! Ignoring these people, their culture, their history, their rights, and their well-being is a disservice to your own ancestry and the people whom build this world! Please take time today and whenever you can to learn more about all indigenous people of the earth and always respect!!!
"The International Day of the World's Indigenous People (9 August) was first proclaimed by the General Assembly in December 1994, to be celebrated every year during the first International Decade of the World's Indigenous People (1995 – 2004). In 2004, the Assembly proclaimed a Second International Decade, from 2005 – 2014, with the theme of "A Decade for Action and Dignity." The focus of this year's International Day is "Indigenous peoples building alliances: Honouring treaties, agreements and other constructive arrangements." The theme aims to highlight the importance of honouring arrangements between States, their citizens and indigenous peoples that were designed to recognize indigenous peoples' rights to their lands and establish a framework for living in proximity and entering into economic relationships. Agreements also outline a political vision of different sovereign peoples living together on the same land, according to the principles of friendship, cooperation and peace."
