Come Aug 9, indigenous communities all over the world will celebrate The International Day Of The World’s Indigenous People. The annual event is aimed at promoting and protecting the rights of the world’s indigenous population, which is fast losing its identity as urbanisation seeps in.
In Malaysia, the Jaringan Orang Asal SeMalaysia (JOAS), in collaboration with Tourism Selangor, is organising a two-day event to showcase various cultures and traditions of the people in line with this year’s theme “Back To Roots”, and is in conjunction with the worldwide Land Rights Now campaign that is set to protect and increase global recognition over indigenous peoples’ land rights.
