The UN General Assembly proclaimed the first International Day of World's Indigenous Peoples in 1994, following the recommendation of the first session of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations.

The day aims to raise awareness about the rights of indigenous peoples, including their cultural heritage, and to highlight the challenges they face, such as discrimination and marginalization.

The International Day of World's Indigenous Peoples is celebrated every year on August 9th to promote and protect the rights of the world's indigenous population.
