This International Center for MultiGenerational Legacies of Trauma’s webinar is held in partnership with the Hopi Foundation on August 9 – the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous participants from the four last United Nations (UN) Member States to sign the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP)—Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States — will reflect on the meaning of their countries’ delay, the meaning of the Declaration for them and their communities, on whether and how their countries’ adoption of UNDRIP affected their own and their families’ lives, the governance of their communities, their relationships to their government/s, fellow citizens, and others around the world, and their hopes for future generations.
