August 9, 2019
The United Nations’ International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples is observed on August 9 each year to honor the estimated 370 million indigenous people around the world. The day was established to recognize the first meeting of the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations held in Geneva in 1982.
This year’s theme is indigenous languages. While indigenous people speak the majority of the world’s estimated 7,000 languages, the UN estimates that every two weeks an indigenous language disappears, threatening the survival of the respective cultures and knowledge systems. This day’s goal is to “draw attention to the critical loss of indigenous language and the urgent need to preserve, revitalize, and promote them at both national and international levels.”

In recognition, Berghahn Journals is offering full access to Sibirica until August 16. To access, use promo code IDP19. View redemption instructions.
