A glimpse at our Indigenous peoples' public consultations!

Miri Tribe, India

I would like to see more organisations formed to help us, indigenous people. I've heard and observed several situations in my village when dominant groups have robbed indigenous people of their lands and rights by duping them into false understandings. This is mainly due to the lack of knowledge, or illiteracy, which other groups have benefited from. It is one of the most serious issues, leaving the indigenous people vulnerable. A lot can improve for the poor if more solid organisations are founded with the goal of educating and supporting these people in such legal concerns as property disputes or other situations, providing competent assistance. As a result, I would like to see more formal government agencies in this field established by leaders.

As a member of a minor tribe, I want to see my community's culture and existence recognised by more people in the future with more knowledge of it, rather than being lost in the rapid modernization that is occurring everywhere.

"I want our leaders to recognise and respect our language, culture, and traditions. They must also take the initiative to protect our forests, which are increasingly producing conflict between humans and other animals for our people's survival. " 

She further added, "My wish is for my tribal community to be recognised and for our children to be able to connect with the world through their distinct identities." There should not be any discrimination because of the unawareness of our tribe. "

Yoruba Tribe, Nigeria

Dear Leaders,

The world needs to be united now more than ever before. However, this unity should not be limited to relationships between states; it should also include non-state actors, including indigenous groups and tribes. Indigenous peoples represent the interests of billions of people around the world, and their feelings and demands should be taken into account in national and international decision-making. If indigenous people's demands are met and their beliefs are taken into account, the world will undoubtedly be a better place to live and thrive in.

My desire is for the Yoruba tribe, which I proudly represent, to be recognised nationally and internationally by 2050. I would like to see all other Indigenous tribes gain recognition and become a collective part of global decision-making.

As we approach the twenty-first century, media engagement has increased dramatically, but not everyone has access to this technology. The ability to actively participate in the economic, political, and social aspects of any crisis through social media and the internet has become increasingly important but remains a major barrier for indigenous peoples around the world.

There is a considerable divide and gap since not everyone has access to contemporary technologies. The digital divide is the expanding gap between disadvantaged groups in society, notably indigenous and rural communities, who lack internet access.

We've reached out to a number of indigenous tribes throughout the world, including those in India and Nigeria, and we've gotten responses from indigenous people all over the world.

The majority of our issues have sprung from a lack of internet connectivity, making it impossible to reach places such as the Green Forum and even search engines like Google.
