To us, everything begins with partnerships.

Over our more than 50-year history, we have been able to build and develop unique, long-standing partnerships with Indigenous Peoples’ organisations and networks from all seven Indigenous regions.

Our partnerships are based on respect for Indigenous Peoples’ right to self-determination and a conviction that Indigenous Peoples are the most powerful agents of change.

Everything we do is with and in support of Indigenous Peoples.

In close cooperation with our partners, we coordinate, enhance and, when necessary, lead advocacy efforts at national, regional and international levels in pursuit of common objectives within a framework of dialogue, mutual trust, respect and cooperation. In this way, IWGIA can play a global, facilitative role for Indigenous Peoples.
