IWGIA members are a strong and important base of individuals who support our work for the rights of Indigenous Peoples. Membership supports us in the work we do in cooperation with Indigenous Peoples’ own organisations, as well as with like-minded NGO’s, international organisations and our extensive network of experts and partners.

As a member you:

·        will be able to raise the visibility of Indigenous Peoples’ rights and IWGIA’s work by participating in calls to action, joining campaigns, signing petitions and spreading the word about urgent issues and important events
