US endorsement of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

The Issue

The United States is currently reviewing whether it will endorse the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.  The US was one of only four countries that did not endorse the Declaration when it was passed by the UN in 2007.  The Declaration is an important instrument for the defense of indigenous lands and resources, and RFUS partner organizations have cited it frequently in their struggles.  Please join us in encouraging the US to endorse this important document by signing the letter below to Reta Jo Lewis, the Special Representative for Global Intergovernmental Affairs at the Us Department of State.
