Statements
In line with United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, we believe it is better not to delineate an exact definition of Indigenous groups exactly -- instead, Indigenous people should be able to self-identify. Broadly, this refers to social and cultural groups that share collective ancestral ties to the lands and natural resources where they live, occupy or from which they have been displaced; however, this is not exhaustive.
