We challenge governments, international organizations, and civil society to go beyond tokenistic gestures and genuinely prioritize the inclusion of Indigenous Women’s voices.
We extend our deepest condolences to the families of those who have paid the ultimate price for their dedication to journalism, and we reaffirm our commitment to a world where their sacrifices are never forgotten.
The governments must protect, and business operations must perform their due diligence, respect, and engage in collective decision-making, respecting the rights of all concerned, and benefits must be shared equitably.
Recognizing and respecting their rights to self-governance is not only a matter of justice but also a key element of effective climate action.
We are under oppression and our oppessors are choking our voices, but we will be heard. We will redeem ourselves in the great ways of our ancestors and the Great Spirit.
I would request the Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Peoples to expand its program of funding to the indigenous representatives to attend various UN sessions.
The recognition by the Government as enshrined in the UNDRIP, including the roles of NHRI, to the IPs of Marine, coastal and small islands are very much needed.

We appreciate the Expert Mechanisms on the Rights on Indigenous Peoples and Expert Mechanism on the Right to Development (EMRTD) continuing effort to dialogue for synergies and cooperation between the two Expert Mechanisms.
