IFIP GLOBAL CONFERENCE 2025

IFIP’s role and strategy build on solidarity, IFIP’s role and vision at this moment are not only bold but necessary within and beyond philanthropy

What makes us go on, despite many difficulties, is our legacy, our traditional knowledge, and most importantly our responsibilities that we have inherited from our ancestors--the many grandmothers who came before us-- to respect, honour, and protect our Mother Earth.

 Indigenous women play important role as custodians and transmitters of traditional knowledge with long histories of preserving indigenous cultures and identity critical for the advancement of Indigenous Peoples collective rights in all areas of their self determined development.

Being an Indigenous Youth Implies the responsibility of proudly continuing the legacy of our ancestors, of maintaining a respectful and harmonious relationship with Mother Earth, and defending our territories for future generations.
