News On Indigenous Women's Issues


I came across this article online at http://indiancountry.com/content.cfm?id=1096413074&print=yes I found it quite interesting and informative. A must read for Native American Women. The headline reads "Women call for revisions to U.N. development goals. BY: Gale Courey Toensing/Indian Country today

NEW YORK - Indigenous women have called for a revamping of the United Nations Millenium Development Goals to reflect the points of view and values of indigenous peoples.

The Indigenous Womens Caucas of the U.N. Permanent Forum on indigenous issues presented a statement called "Millenium Development Goals and Indigenous Peoples: Re-Defining the Goals " at the forums fifth session in New York on May 15-26th. I think this is an issue worth reading and learning more about and I hope to keep you updated in future posts.
