Hello  ACORNS subscriber

The UN International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples fell on 9 August 2020, marking the anniversary of the first meeting of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations of the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights, which took place in 1982. Recent headlines reflect this focus on Indigenous peoples, highlighting positive developments and persistent issues.

From an international perspective, the International Labour Organization recently published its policy brief COVID-19 and the world of work: A focus on indigenous and tribal peoples, which analyses the vulnerabilities of Indigenous and tribal peoples in the COVID-19 context and identifies urgent and continuing actions to ensure their access to decent work and social protection. While UNESCO has published the first issue of its Indigenous Peoples Bulletin, which includes a focus on recent work done by the UNESCO Intersectoral Working Group on Indigenous Peoples Issues to support cultural diversity and human rights.

In the Americas, the Canada Council for the Arts has announced that it will benefit from the leadership of its first Indigenous Chair, Jesse Wente, Executive Director of the Indigenous Screen Office and advocate for Indigenous rights and First Nations, Metis and Inuit art. In Mexico, the National Institute of Indigenous Languages - an agency of the Secretary of Culture - has highlighted the need to listen to the voices of Indigenous peoples in the context of COVID-19, to identify current limitations and shortcomings, and to establish alliances. In El Salvador, the Ministry of Culture has recognised the value and contributions of Indigenous communities; and in Peru, the Ministry of Culture has participated in the government working group on the protection of Indigenous populations, highlighting collaboration between the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Health to support Indigenous communities in the context of the COVID-19 crisis.

In the Pacific, in Australia the Australia Council for the Arts has released new research that explores the perspectives of First Nations artists and creatives working in theatre and dance, and finds there is growing appetite for First Nations work, alongside a continued need to challenge narrow perceptions of what constitutes First Nations theatre and dance; while the Office for the Arts has released the government’s National Indigenous Languages Report, which reinforces the value of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages and the role they play in culture and identity.

Perspectives from Africa have also been highlighted in African Voices, a report from UNESCO in which African Indigenous leaders share their experiences of the onset of the global pandemic and speak of the generosity, solidarity and responsiveness of their communities and organisations.

El Día Internacional de los Pueblos Indígenas se celebró el pasado 9 de agosto y conmemora el aniversario de la primera reunión, en 1982, del Grupo de Trabajo sobre Poblaciones Indígenas de la Subcomisión de Prevención de Discriminaciones y Protección a las Minorías de la ONU. Los titulares más recientes reflejan esa centralidad de los pueblos indígenas y destacan recientes progresos y problemas persistentes.

Desde una perspectiva internacional, la Organización Internacional del Trabajo publicó recientemente su nota informativa COVID-19 y el mundo del trabajo: un enfoque en los pueblos indígenas y tribales, que analiza la vulnerabilidad de los pueblos y tribus indígenas en el contexto del COVID-19 y señala acciones urgentes y a medio plazo para garantizar su acceso a un trabajo digno y a la protección social. Mientras tanto, la UNESCO ha publicado el primer número de su Boletín de los pueblos indígenas, que incluye una pieza sobre el trabajo del Grupo de Trabajo Intersectorial de la UNESCO sobre Problemas de los Pueblos Indígenas en apoyo de la diversidad cultural y los derechos humanos.

En las Américas, el Consejo de Canadá para las Artes ha anunciado que disfrutará del liderazgo de su primer presidente indígena, Jesse Wente, actual director ejecutivo de la Oficina del Audiovisual y Digital y activista por los derechos indígenas y por el arte de los Pueblos originarios, metis e inuit. En México, el Instituto Nacional de Lenguas Indígenas (INALI) -organismo sectorizado de la Secretaría de Cultura- ha resaltado la necesidad de escuchar las voces de los pueblos indígenas en el contexto del COVID-19, identificar limitaciones y carencias y a establecer alianzas. En El Salvador, el Ministerio de Cultura ha reconocido el valor y las contribuciones de las comunidades indígenas, y en Perú, el Ministerio de Cultura ha participado en el grupo de trabajo gubernamental sobre la protección de las poblaciones indígenas, destacando la colaboración entre el Ministerio de Cultura y el Ministerio de Salud para apoyar a las comunidades indígenas en el contexto de la crisis del COVID-19.

En el Pacífico, en Australia en Consejo de Australia para las Artes ha publicado un nuevo estudio que explora las perspectivas de artistas y creativos de los Pueblos Originarios en el teatro y la música, y que afirma que aumenta la demanda por la obra de los Pueblos Originarios, junto con la necesidad constante de cuestionar los estereotipos respecto al teatro y la danza de los Pueblos Originarios. La Oficina para las Artes de Australia también ha publicado el informe gubernamental Informe Nacional sobre las Lenguas Indígenas, que refuerza el valor de las lenguas aborígenes y del Estrecho de Torres y su papel en la cultura y la identidad.

Las perspectivas africanas también se han puesto de relieve en Voces africanas, un informe de la UNESCO en que líderes indígenas africanos comparten sus experiencias al inicio de la pandemia global y hablan de la generosidad, solidaridad y capacidad de respuesta de sus comunidades e instituciones.
