The International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples is observed annually to promote and protect the rights of the world’s Indigenous populations. This event also recognises the achievements and contributions that indigenous people make to improve world issues such as environmental protection.
It was first pronounced by the General Assembly of the United Nations in December 1994, marking the day of the first meeting of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations of the Sub-commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights, in 1982.
The SAACCON logo was created using the notion of a gathering of groups and organisations coming together with a shared purpose, in this case, to Close the Gap. Physically to place the word SAACCON in the space of the group design to symbolise the group going to help Close the Gap.
