International<br />
Day of the<br />
World’s<br />
Indigenous<br />
On the 10th anniversary of the United Nations Declaration on the<br />
Rights of the Indigenous Peoples, indigenous groups from different<br />
parts of Bangladesh celebrated and demonstrated at the Shaheed<br />
Minar in Dhaka on August 9. This is also the International Day of the<br />
World’s Indigenous, meant to commemorate the UN declaration.<br />
Dressed in their traditional outfits and armed with musical<br />
instruments, the people gathered performed traditional dances and<br />
held up signs. Artwork depicting the suffering in the recent Langadu<br />
tragedy were seen and signs protesting encroachments in their<br />
native lands were displayed, which gave the colourful celebrations an<br />
ominous undertone. Photos: Mehedi Hasan, Mahmud Hossain Opu<br />
