Who We Are
Indigenous Peoples Issues and Resources is a worldwide network of organizations, academics, activists, indigenous groups, and others representing indigenous and tribal peoples. We consist of a concerned group of social scientists, activists, scholars, laypeople, indigenous people, and others who all share a combined goal: to provide resources, news, articles, and information on current issues affecting indigenous and tribal peoples around the world. Founded in 2007 by Peter N. Jones, Indigenous Peoples Issues and Resources has quickly grown into a network of subscribers, contributors, and supporters across the globe. Indigenous Peoples Issues and Resources has been fighting continuously for the rights of indigenous and tribal peoples since its inception, and we encourage you to join us.
Do you share this vision with us? If so, would you care to help? There are many ways to help - not only directly with this site (and project), but in other ways that may better fit with your situation. We are currently looking for articles, press releases, news stories, resources, books, videos, and other information that focus on indigenous and tribal peoples issues or resources.

ILO Convention 169 Comes into Force
On This Day: In 1991 the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 came into force. It is an International Labour Organization Convention, also known as ILO Convention 169, or C169. It is the major binding international convention concerning indigenous peoples, and a forerunner of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Only 21 countries have ratified the Convention, while the United States, Canada, Australia, Russia, and many other countries have failed to adopt its binding guidelines.
