✨ Celebrating Indigenous Children on the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples ✨🌍

On August 9th, VoFG CI hosted a powerful International Online Roundtable with participants from across the globe. Together, we celebrated Indigenous voices, children’s rights, and the winners of our 2025 Indigenous Storytelling Contest.

Partners and collaborators included the Centre for International Sustainable Development Law (CISDL) and the National Sixties Scoop Healing Foundation of Canada (NSSHFC).


In a vibrant celebration of creativity and cultural heritage, we are proud to announce the winners of the 2025 Call for Stories written by Indigenous children. Made possible through the generous support of the National Sixties Scoop Healing Foundation of Canada, this year’s contest invited young Indigenous storytellers to share their voices, honour their traditions, and reflect on the rich cultural legacies of their families and communities.
