Indigenous Youth Manifesto

The Global Indigenous Youth Manifesto is a collective declaration of vision, demands, and commitment from Indigenous youth who gathered at the IFIP Global Conference in Naivasha, Kenya. Building on the 2023 Manifesto from Mérida, this 2025 declaration uplifts Indigenous youth leadership in the face of systemic injustice, climate crisis, and cultural erasure. It calls on funders, governments, and allies to take bold, accountable action rooted in Indigenous values. We invite you to engage with this powerful roadmap toward self-determination, equity, and Indigenous-led change.
