On day two of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, or UNPFII, this fact — that Indigenous people make up 5% of the world’s population but are responsible for 80% of its biodiversity — was repeated again and again by global Indigenous leaders."'As we are all aware, Indigenous peoples have least contributed to the problems of climate change nonetheless, due to their interdependence with their vital environment in their ecosystems, they suffer at its worst effects,' said Francisco Cali Tzay on Tuesday, a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mayan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mayan</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cakchiquel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cakchiquel</a> from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Guatemala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Guatemala</a> and the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous peoples.

Others called upon the Permanent Forum to take action. "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SanCarlosApache" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SanCarlosApache</a> Tribal Chairman, Terry Rambler, drew attention to a “major human rights violation” happening at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OakFlat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OakFlat</a>, a sacred area within <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Arizona</a>’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TontoNationalForest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TontoNationalForest</a> where <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResolutionCopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ResolutionCopper</a> — a joint venture of two mining giants <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BHPBilliton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BHPBilliton</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RioTinto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RioTinto</a> — seeks to develop one of the largest <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CopperMines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CopperMines</a> in North America.

"'In the name of saving the planet, the Nordic states are digging into our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mountains</a>, drilling holes into our rocks, and making it impossible for Sámi to practice our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/traditional" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#traditional</a> livelihoods,' said Elle Rávdná Näkkäläjärvi, a spokesperson for the delegation.

That mining, however, would 'devastate the local Sámi community,' the Sámi youth said."'We demand the Nordic states to immediately halt the ongoing human rights violations against the Sámi,' they said. 'We plead the global Indigenous community to notice this green colonialism.'"The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GlobalIndigenousYouthCaucus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GlobalIndigenousYouthCaucus</a> — composed of Indigenous youth from all seven regions within the UN — also made waves on Tuesday, calling on the Permanent Forum and the General Assembly to assist in perpetuating ancestral knowledge by enforcing an intergenerational Indigenous advisory group for bodies of the United Nations.

'As Indigenous youth, we are future bearers of knowledge, and we hold both the knowledge of our ancestors, and our descendants.'"Indigenous Rights Governance partner at the New Zealand Human Rights Commission, Claire Charters, gave an intervention about the disproportionate risks <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/M%C4%81ori" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Māori</a> people are facing in a changing landscape."'We must ensure that Māori are centered in the discussions on mitigation and adapting to climate change, and that Indigenous knowledge is more deliberately considered,' Charters, who is Māori, said. 'Climate change is accelerating the severity and frequency of major weather events. We must act with urgency to understand the risks and minimize the impact on our lands, territories, cultural infrastructures, and the overall well being of our Indigenous communities.'"Climate will remain a central theme in the upcoming days of the UNPFII. Tomorrow, the Native Women’s Association of Canada will host a session on 'Indigenous Women’s Perspectives On the Burning Issues of Climate Change', and the International Indian Treaty Council will join with other Indigenous Peoples Organizations to discuss the contentious conservation goal of 30×30 and how it violates the rights of Indigenous Peoples."<a href="https://www.hcn.org/articles/indigenous-affairs-climate-change-indigenous-leaders-indigenous-health-and-planetary-health-are-interdependent/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.hcn.org/articles/indigenous-affairs-climate-change-indigenous-leaders-indigenous-health-and-planetary-health-are-interdependent/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCatastrophe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateCatastrophe</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LandBack</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LandDefenders</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Koyaanisqatsi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Koyaanisqatsi</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LifeOutOfBalance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LifeOutOfBalance</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveThackerPass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SaveThackerPass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LandBack</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousRights</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtinctionRebellion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExtinctionRebellion</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LastStand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LastStand</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TheStand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheStand</a>
