De acuerdo con la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), en el mundo se hablan cerca de 7 mil idiomas, y pese a que los Pueblos Indígenas constituyen menos del 6% de la población mundial, ellos hablan más de 4000 lenguas. La ONU reconoce la importancia de las lenguas Indígenas para la cohesión y la inclusión social, los derechos culturales, la salud y la justicia, por lo que proclamó el período comprendido entre el 2022 y el 2032 como el Decenio Internacional de las Lenguas Indígenas.

En la cultura occidental se ha usado el término LGBTIQ+ para nombrar la diversidad en cuanto a identidad de género y orientación sexual; sin embargo, en los Pueblos Indígenas, ¿cómo nombramos esta diversidad?

Indigenous Peoples have known how to live on and take care of the land since times immemorial.

These are the areas managed by Indigenous Peoples.
