Indigenous Navigator

Founded in 2014, the Indigenous Navigator is a framework and set of tools for and by indigenous peoples to systematically monitor the level of recognition and implementation of their rights. By using the Indigenous Navigator, indigenous organisations and communities, duty bearers, NGOs and journalists can access free tools and resources based on community-generated data. The Indigenous Navigator monitors the implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, core human rights conventions as they pertain to indigenous peoples, and essential aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals.

The tools developed under the Indigenous Navigator are for use by any interested indigenous peoples’ organisation or community and consist of community level and national-level surveys that can reveal persistent issues with rights violations. The Navigator is governed by a Steering Committee on which FPP sits.
