The Global Indigeneity Conference, held from August 22-25, 2024, in Banaue, Ifugao, brought together over 90 participants from across the globe, including representatives from the Philippines, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan, and the USA. This unique gathering of scholars, Indigenous leaders, and advocates provided a critical platform to address the urgent challenges facing Indigenous communities worldwide. Co-sponsored by several Philippine state universities and colleges such as Partido State University, Agusan del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology, Sorsogon State University, Pangasinan Polytechnic College, Mindanao State University-General Santos, and Ifugao State University, with international support from the UCLA Center for Southeast Asian Studies, the event was made possible by generous funding from the Henry Luce Foundation and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research.
