WHO ARE INDIGENOUS
PEOPLES?
“Indigenous peoples remain on the margins
of society: they are poorer, less educated, die
at a younger age, are much more likely to
commit suicide, and are generally in worse
health than the rest of the population."
(Source: The Indigenous World 2006, International Working
Group on Indigenous Affairs (IWGIA) WHO

gradient for morbidity and mortality. (Poverty,
sanitation, nutrition, and shelter are controlled.)
• Higher status folks live longer and healthier.
