Feliz Día Internacional de los Pueblos Indígenas 9 August = Today #pueblosindígenas
Anyone know what the USA is doing to celebrate? Maybe giving Natives title to the concentration camps? How about honoring a treaty and giving the Black Hills and the Dakotas back?
Mexico is giving title to the Huichols, title to some of their sacred sites.

International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples
9 August
http://www.un.org/en/events/indigenousday/
The International Day of the World's Indigenous People (9 August) was first proclaimed by the General Assembly in December 1994, to be celebrated every year during the first International Decade of the World's Indigenous People (1995 – 2004).
In 2004, the Assembly proclaimed a Second International Decade, from 2005 – 2014, with the theme of "A Decade for Action and Dignity." The focus of this year's International Day is "Indigenous peoples building alliances: Honouring treaties, agreements and other constructive arrangements."
The theme aims to highlight the importance of honouring arrangements between States, their citizens and indigenous peoples that were designed to recognize indigenous peoples' rights to their lands and establish a framework for living in proximity and entering into economic relationships. Agreements also outline a political vision of different sovereign peoples living together on the same land, according to the principles of friendship, cooperation and peace.
A special event at UN Headquarters in New York will be held on Friday, 9 August, starting at 3pm, .....
