Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues
In 1923, Haudenosaunee Chief Deskaheh travelled to Geneva to speak to the League of Nations and defend the right of his people to live under their own laws, on the own land and under their own faith. Even though he was not allowed to speak and returned home in 1924, his vision nourished the generations that followed. Today, there are more than 370 million indigenous people in 70 countries worldwide.
The Permanent Forum is an advisory body to the Economic and Social Council with a mandate to discuss indigenous issues related to economic and social development, culture, the environment, education, health and human rights. According to its mandate, the Permanent Forum will:

raise awareness and promote the integration and coordination of activities related to indigenous issues within the UN system

Sami Siida of North America
The Sami Siida of North America is a network of regional communities and individuals who share the heritage of the Sami culture of Northern Scandinavia, Finland and the Kola Peninsula. Participants are immigrants and the descendents of immigrants from that region of Europe traditionally known as Lapland (today called Samiland or Sápmi) and all share an active interest in their heritage. The Siida functions as a cooperative of sorts, sharing what we can and welcoming all who intuitively feel they belong to the clan! The Siida is the single active representative of the Sami culture in North America with educational projects, publications and many events throughout the year. The organization maintains an observer seat on the International Sami Council and promotes the revival of cultural awareness in North America.
