We are overjoyed to share that our gathering, "The Seven Sociocultural Regions - Amplifying the Voices of Indigenous Youth and Community Self-Determination," held at the grounds of the UN Headquarters in New York, resonated deeply with the spirits and hearts of all who attended. 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏽🙋🏾♀️🙋🏻♂️
Organized by Pawanka and Community First as a side-event during the 23rd Session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, this gathering was a great meeting where wisdom was shared, voices were amplified, and connections were forged. 🫱🏼🫲🏽🤩🗽
