Celebrate with Ethical.TV the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People!
“The world’s indigenous peoples – 370 million in 70 countries — are the custodians of some of the most biologically diverse areas on earth. They speak a majority of the world’s languages, and their traditional knowledge, cultural diversity and sustainable ways of life make an invaluable contribution to the world’s common heritage.”
Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General
