Los Pueblos Indígenas de todo el mundo estarán viajando a la ciudad de Nueva York para el Foro Permanente de la Organización Naciones Unidas sobre Cuestiones Indígenas del 16 de al 27 de abril. Aunque la mayoría de nosotros no podemos llegar a Nueva York, nuestras voces deben ser escuchadas. Nuestro objetivo es crear una tormenta de actividad en línea durante el Foro Permanente para que se escuchen las voces Indígenas en todas partes.
