Indigenous World Peoples' Day: honoring and celebrating Indigenous voices on YouTube

Indigenous World Peoples' Day recognizes and celebrates the diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous peoples globally. As a platform that empowers creators to share their stories, YouTube is committed to amplifying Indigenous voices and showcasing the richness of Indigenous experiences.

On this Indigenous World Peoples' Day, YouTube will kick off a month-long celebration spotlighting outstanding creators on the Official YouTube Channel, where you can discover creators like Notorious Cree (9.3K subs) an educator and content creator who uses social media to share and reclaim his culture through his work as a hoop dancer, and Janae Daugherty (31.3K subs) a lifestyle vlogger from Miami who posts weekly vlogs about fashion hauls and daily life. Tia Wood (12K subs) will also show off her Cree and Salish traditions on YouTube Shorts.

YouTube Kids will also curate a bespoke playlist with educational content from CBC News and the Fanshawe Institute of Indigenous Learning.

From sharing their humor and traditions to discussing contemporary issues and advocating for social justice; Indigenous creators on YouTube are making a profound impact across communities, representing us all in a good way.

Indigenous storytelling plays a vital role in preserving cultural heritage, fostering greater understanding, and challenging stereotypes. We are proud to provide a platform where Indigenous creators can reclaim their identities by sharing their own perspectives, connecting with global audiences, and inspiring positive change.

We invite you to join us in celebrating Indigenous World Peoples' Day by exploring the diverse content created by Indigenous creators on YouTube. Their stories, perspectives, and experiences offer valuable insights into the beauty, resilience, and strength of Indigenous cultures.

Together, let's embrace the rich tapestry of Indigenous cultures and honor the contributions of Indigenous peoples past, present, and future.
