The International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples marks the day of the first meeting, in 1982, of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations of the Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights. To recognise this day, the Indigenous Knowledge Institute hosted its inaugural symposium to showcase and celebrate a variety of Indigenous knowledges from across the University of Melbourne and the community. Speakers discussed ways to draw Indigenous knowledges into the policy and education spaces and touched on the theme “Indigenous peoples and the call for a new social contract”.
