Circle of Sharing with Matthew Patles, Mi’kmaw 1430 Concert with Jalvvi Niilas Holmberg, Nisga’a Longhouse Friday 10th of July 1100 - 1230 Indigenous River Peoples' Rights In this high-level talk on Indigenous River Peoples’ Rights to Rivers, we set the scene for a broad discussion on the preservation of river-based Indigenous cultures and the protection of their rights. How can Indigenous river peoples work to take care of their home rivers, and further the rights of both rivers and people through international cooperation? During the 2024 Indigenous Salmon Peoples Gathering, an Indigenous Salmon Peoples' Declaration (the Kárášjohka Declaration IISPN - Karasjok Declaration) was created to state the importance of salmon as the basis for Indigenous salmon peoples' future wellbeing. What are the most effective ways to get governments to listen and take action on the various items of the declaration? What means can be used to achieve acknowledgement of the rights of rivers and river peoples both locally and at the international scene? The seminar is co-organized by UiT (Sharing Our Knowledge project), the International Indigenous Salmon Peoples Network, and Riddu Riđđu. Áslak Holmberg will moderate the seminar. The participants have been key to developing the Karasjok Declaration and are eager to discuss and come up with viable future solutions with the Riddu audience. 1600 Indigenous River Peoples Youth Meeting - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oksfjord/indigenous-river-peoples-at-riddu/200029807581859 - **Event Categories**: workshops, concerts, festivals, meetups, music, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 85 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Oksfjord - **state**: TR - **country**: Norway - **location**: Riddu Riđđu Festivála - **lat**: 69.52589468801 - **long**: 20.533968555505 - **full address**: Riddu Riđđu Festivála, Aja Samisk Senter, 9144 Samuelsberg, Norge, Oksfjord, Norway ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Indigenous River Peoples at Riddu - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/c470253b8aa69755cca7061e80043983368c5ab6e3e71d9ec46b1641b997c0d6-rimg-w1200-h800-dcd5dcda-gmir?v=1782352640 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Indigenous River Peoples at Riddu being held? - **A:** Indigenous River Peoples at Riddu takes place on Wed, 08 Jul, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 12:00 am at Riddu Riđđu Festivala, Aja Samisk Senter, 9144 Samuelsberg, Norge, Oksfjord, Norway. - **Q**: Who is organizing Indigenous River Peoples at Riddu ? - **A:** Indigenous River Peoples at Riddu is organized by International Indigenous Salmon Peoples Network. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
