Summary
The Technical Workshop on Indigenous Peoples and Indicators of Well-Being was convened pursuant to recommendations of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues at its Third and Fourth Sessions. It is the first in a series of four workshops on the subject.
The Workshop was attended by eleven experts from Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the USA, and the Russian Federation, and several observers from indigenous peoples' organizations, provincial governments and universities of Canada.
In its conclusions and recommendations, the experts identified a preliminary list of core themes, sub-themes and indicators of indigenous peoples' well-being.
