International Day of The World’s Indigenous Peoples 2023

On 23 December 1994, the United Nations General Assembly decided, in its resolution 49/214, that the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People shall be observed on 9 August every year. The date marks the first meeting, in 1982, of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations.

The International Day observance will take place online on Wednesday, 9 August 2023 from 9:00 am to 10:30 am Eastern Standard Time (EST).

This year’s theme is Indigenous Youth as Agents of Change for Self-determination.
