The Permanent Forum invites States to support the strengthening of local and regional indigenous peoples’ institutions on the management of lands, water and resources, as recommended in the Pikialasorsuaq project of the Inuit Circumpolar Council and the Deatnu (Tana) salmon management project on cross-border cooperation.
The Permanent Forum recalls the recommendation contained in paragraph 39 of its report on its sixteenth session, in which States were encouraged to continue to cooperate with indigenous peoples to develop fair, transparent and effective mechanisms for the repatriation of ceremonial objects and human remains at the national and international levels.
