Indigenous Peoples are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. Rooted in holistic worldviews that connect territory, spirituality, community and ways of life, they encompass values, practices and forms of care that have been developed and passed on over time.
International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples raises awareness of the importance of Indigenous Peoples, what we can learn from them and their needs.
How Ipieca supports Indigenous Peoples

Working across the topics of Indigenous Peoples, local content and social investment, Ipieca supports members and the wider industry to effectively engage with local communities and contribute to the social and economic development of the areas in which they operate by facilitating peer-learning, knowledge sharing and developing good practice and tools for social practitioners on emerging issues.
