I presented a roadmap at the 2024 Metis National Council Global Summit, with a focus on championing a transformative UN status for Indigenous governments. I recall the intensity of July 19, 2014, a night that became a turning point in our mission to preserve Indigenous references within the Sustainable Development Goals. I unpack the critical concepts of sovereignty, decolonization, and self-determination, drawing innovative comparisons to frequent flyer programs to demystify the layers of UN participation. Enjoy!
