International Day of the World's Indigenous People
9 August
In 1994, the General Assembly decided that the International
Day of the World's Indigenous People shall be observed on 9
August every year during the International Decade of the World's
Indigenous People (resolution 49/214 of 23 December). The date
marks the day of the first meeting, in 1992, of the Working
Group on Indigenous Populations of the Subcommission on the
Promotion and Protection of Human Rights.
