International Day of the World's Indigenous PeoplesThe International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is celebrated to raise awareness about the rights of indigenous communities worldwide. The day aims to promote and protect the rights and well-being of indigenous peoples and cultures. In Australia, the indigenous peoples are the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and their rich cultures and traditions have been present in the country for more than 60,000 years. However, colonization and displacement over the past two centuries have led to significant economic, social, and health disparities for these communities. In 1994, the UN General Assembly declared August 9th as the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples. Since then, the day has become an opportunity for indigenous peoples to come together to celebrate their cultures, traditions, and their contributions to the world. In Australia, various events and activities are organized on this day by indigenous communities, non-governmental organizations, and government agencies to highlight the issues facing these communities and to promote their cultural heritage. These events provide a platform for indigenous peoples to share their stories, art, music, and traditions with the rest of the world and raise awareness about their struggles for social justice, land rights, and recognition. The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is observed annually on August 9th. Facts about Indigenous People
