Valuing, Nurturing and Honoring the Peoples We Treasuring

October marks the celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Month 2024, along with the 27th anniversary of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA). With the theme, “Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalan”. This celebration underscores the importance of recognizing and protecting Indigenous communities. It encourages efforts to preserve their traditions and to give respect for their contributions to our society.

In this celebration, Indigenous peoples are given the opportunity to showcase their rich culture, tradition and knowledge. Events such as cultural exhibits empower these communities to share their stories and to advocate for their rights. Also, it serves as a reminder for the citizens as well as the government to ensure that the Indigenous Peoples' rights like cultural identity are given to them.

By celebrating the National Indigenous Peoples Month, we can provide safety for their rights and preserves their culture as Indigenous Peoples. Unity, respect, and appreciation for them can be observed in this kind of celebration. Let us continue to honor and nurture their contributions and ensure their voices are heard and respected.
