 Indigenous people and the United Nations at the time of COVID-19 
The coronavirus pandemic has greatly influenced the participation of Indigenous Peoples in the United Nations. The sessions of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues were held virtually, which notably reduced in 2021 the participation of Indigenous organizations in favour of member states due to technological and organizational barriers. However, this decline in participation did not translate into a decline in mobilization. On the contrary, Indigenous Peoples around the world have managed to overcome these pandemic related obstacles to develop their networks and strengthen their actions. Thus, we can see new forms of solidarity developing within populations, through use of digital technology, which increases the visibility of Indigenous issues or by implementing more local undertakings.
