🌎🪶 August 9 — International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples
Today, we honour and celebrate the rich cultures, languages, traditions, knowledge, histories, and resilience of Indigenous Peoples around the world. 🧡
Recognized by the United Nations, this day is an opportunity to promote and protect the rights of Indigenous Peoples and to recognize the important contributions Indigenous communities continue to make to our world.
From the lands we care for, to the languages we carry, to the teachings passed down through generations — Indigenous Peoples continue to keep our cultures and connections alive. 🌿✨
Today, and every day, may we listen, learn, respect, and stand together in support of Indigenous rights, self-determination, and the preservation of Indigenous languages, cultures, and traditions.
Honour the past. Celebrate the present. Protect the future.🧡
