The observance of National Indigenous Peoples Month, particularly in 2024, serves as a advocacy for promoting and protecting the rights and culture of Indigenous Peoples. The theme “Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalana” highlights the importance of valuing and preserving Indigenous knowledge and culture. By highlighting these traditional practices, the celebration presents a greater appreciation for the unique contributions of Indigenous communities to the cultural heritage of the nation.
Furthermore, events and activities like this encourages connection between Indigenous Peoples and the government, promoting collaboration in policy-making that respects their rights and aspirations.
Last but not the least, it creates opportunities for education and awareness among the public. By engaging various stakeholders, including schools, local governments, and civil society, the celebration brings a deeper understanding of Indigenous issues. This collective effort not only honors Indigenous culture but also empowers communities to declare their rights, ensuring that their voices are heard and respected in society.
