The International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples 2023
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.

The implementation of UNDRIP remains only on paper, not in the practice.
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 request the EMRIP and other UN organizations to urge the Japanese Government and other States to obligate their law enforcement officials and legal professionals to master international human rights laws and treaties.

Indigenous Peoples in Asia face regression and rejection of our inherent rights and rights enshrined in the UNDRIP.
We call upon the Malaysia government, to initiate engagements with Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous People in Malaysia to establish constructive collaboration.
Until the invasion of the Japanese people, the Aynu have lived off the natural resources of the Aynu land of Yaunmosir, including going into the forests to cut trees, going into the rivers to catch salmon, and catching fish and seaweed in the sea.
We emphasize the necessity of developing a plan centered on the Ainu community for the Ainu language and another one centered on the Ryukyuan community for the Ryukyuan languages.
