International Indian Treaty Council Capacity-building & Human Rights Training Program
The International Indian Treaty Council (IITC), founded in 1974, is an organization of Indigenous Peoples working for human rights,
environmental justice and self-determination for Indigenous Peoples and the recognition and protection of their human rights, treaties,
traditional cultures and sacred lands. In 1977, IITC was the first Indigenous organization to receive Consultative Status to the United
Nations (UN) Economic and Social Council.!
The IITC’s Human Rights Training and Capacity-building Program provides training and capacity-building for Indigenous Peoples,
Tribes, grass roots communities, networks and organizations. Its focus is to expand awareness and build the active, informed use of
international standards and mechanisms in support of local human rights issues, struggles and campaigns. !
Consultations, training and workshops take place by invitation in tribal communities and gatherings, as well as through dissemination of
educational materials, technical and legal assistance for filing cases and urgent action communications, “training trainers” in
communities and mentorship at international fora. !
