Special attention should be paid to indigenous peoples at the High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development to be held during the sixty-first session of the General Assembly in New York on 14 and 15 September 2006.

In particular, indigenous migration affects the collective rights of indigenous communities and accordingly has consequences for entire communities.
