Reporting Directly from the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues

On April 15-26, 2024, the 22nd session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) is taking place. This year’s session theme focuses on "Enhancing Indigenous Peoples’ right to self-determination in the context of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: emphasizing the voices of Indigenous youth.” Over 2000 delegates attended with a large youth presence. 

Cultural Survival was on the ground working to amplify Indigenous voices and Indigenous-led solutions. We partnered with the UNPFII  and UNDESA on running the Indigenous Media Zone, hosted and cohosted several side events, parallel events, and discussions, and supported our fellows and grant partners in their advocacy efforts by organizing meetings with several government missions. Thank you to all who crossed paths with us and collaborated with us!
