13 Global Indigenous People’s Crisis

14 Defining Indigenous People…
We are descended from the pre-colonial/pre-invasion inhabitants of our region. We maintain a close tie to our land in both our cultural and economic practices. We suffer from economic and political marginalization as a minority group. A group is considered Indigenous if it defines itself that way.

15 INDIGENOUS PEOPLES HOLD 20% OF THE EARTH’S LAND MASS.
THAT LAND HARBORS 80% OF THE WORLD’S REMAINING BIODIVERSITY.
