Each year on August 9, people around the globe observe Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples to bring awareness to world issues concerning indigenous people. This International Day also recognizes the achievements and contributions of indigenous people in our society.

#DayOftheWorldsIndigenousPeoples

Day of the World's Indigenous People first began by the introduction of a UN Resolution.  With intentions to raise awareness about indigenous groups, UN Resolution 49/214 became a reality on December 23, 1994.  As a result, August 9 will forever be a reminder of the first meeting of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations.
