    Aug 9 marks the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People, which aims to celebrate and recognise this small but powerful community. Indigenous people are disproportionately affected by poverty and many studies have drawn links between their colonisation and poor health. For example Indigenous people have experienced negative mental health impacts after land dispossession and their life expectancy is up to 20 years lower than non-Indigenous people. This year’s theme, Indigenous Youth as Agents of Change for Self-determination, acknowledges that Indigenous youth are using cutting-edge technologies to develop a more sustainable future.
