In this episode of Cooper UNion, Joshua Cooper speaks with Dwayne Mamo, Documentation and Communications Manager at the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) and General Editor of The Indigenous World, about one of the most important annual publications documenting the realities of Indigenous Peoples worldwide. Recorded during the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, the conversation explores how Indigenous communities defend their rights, lands, cultures, and self-determination amid growing global challenges — from shrinking civic space and threats to human rights defenders to climate change. Dwayne reflects on why Indigenous-led documentation, data, and storytelling remain powerful tools for justice and accountability.
