There are over 476 million Indigenous people living in over 5,000 distinct groups in 90 countries across the world (United Nations). Indigenous peoples represent distinct social, cultural, and political groups worldwide that share overlapping challenges about the protection of their rights, their lands, and their well-being as distinct peoples. 
  

The 2023 UNC World View K-12 Global Education Symposium will explore the meaning of global Indigeneity while examining the complexities of Indigenous identity and life. We will discuss the commonalities among the world’s Indigenous and Native peoples, as well as what makes them profoundly diverse and different from one another. Some of the topics we may examine include local and global issues impacting Indigenous individuals, communities, peoples, and governance; Indigenous languages and language preservation; sovereignty and self-determination; cultural resilience; and respecting ancestral lands, waters, and territories. Educators will gain knowledge and resources about global Indigeneity through the voices, perspectives, and experiences of many.
