Ełet’anıts’eɂah: Introduction to UNDRIP

This workshop will focus on introducing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), and showcase how UNDRIP can be applied in practice. The workshop will open with a brief introduction about Hotıì ts’eeda and their work. Following, the presenters will introduce UNDRIP, including a brief history of the declaration. We will then focus on applying UNDRIP in practice. Concrete examples of UNDRIP application will be shared, using the Hotıì ts’eeda (NWT SPOR Support Unit) as a case study. To conclude, participants will be guided through questions to consider applying their knowledge of UNDRIP to their own workplaces or contexts. Key takeaways and next steps will be shared to facilitate participants applying UNDRIP moving forward. Workshop activities will focus on translating articles to plain language, identifying applicable articles to your workplace, and reviewing a case study example.
