Too often, Indigenous Peoples are excluded from decisions on climate, tech & beyond. Their knowledge & wisdom are crucial to building a just future. On World’s #IndigenousPeoplesDay, let’s stand together to protect their rights & voices.

We need Indigenous Peoples for a better world. They are inheritors and practitioners of unique culture, cosmogonies, languages, and territorial management systems that protect biodiversity and generate food. They bring HOPE to humankind. #WeAreIndigenous #IndigenousPeoplesDay

As global legal & ethical frameworks on AI take shape, there is a growing risk that Indigenous Peoples & their knowledge systems are left out. To build just & inclusive technologies, the meaningful participation of Indigenous Peoples is essential. #WeAreIndigenous #IndigenousDay
