About Indigenous Rights Watch

The vision of Indigenous Rights Watch is for the nations of the world to adhere to internationally accepted human rights standards for Indigenous Peoples. We want to start with our own--the United States. As such, our mission is the following.

Mission Statement

To bring an end to human and civil rights violations against American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians within the United States borders. To achieve this mandate, Indigenous Rights Watch uses human rights monitoring, social marketing, educational media communications and action to:

1) report the nature and extent of indigenous rights violations;

2) raise legal, political and public awareness about such violations; and

3) advocate for United States adherence to and ratification of international indigenous rights conventions.
