Indigenous IMPAC5 was series of Indigenous-specific activities and events at the Fifth International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC5) that took place from February 03 to 08, 2023 in xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) territory, Vancouver, BC.
Developed by the IMPAC5 Indigenous Working Group, Indigenous IMPAC5 events and activities complemented and enhanced the programming of the overall IMPAC5 Congress, and the experience of Indigenous participants.
Thank you to those of you who joined us at the Indigenous Caucus and the other Indigenous-specific activities throughout the Congress. It was a joy to gather with so many Indigenous folks from around the world to talk about Indigenous marine conservation and protection.
