December 10th, 2016 will mark the 68th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the UN General Assembly.  Let's send a message that the struggle for the implementation of the standards proposed in the Declaration of Human Rights continues today in many corners of the world, especially in Indigenous communities, by airing this free series of programs that provides information on how Indigenous people can use UN mechanisms to defend their rights. 

On December 10-11, and on December 16-18, a local Cambridge-based nonprofit will host two craft festivals highlighting Indigenous art from around the world.
