Historic Second Global Summit on Indigenous Peacebuilding

25 - 26 April 2026
New York City. United States of America

Indigenous leaders from across the world will convene to advance recognition and inclusion of Indigenous approaches to peacebuilding and to ensure these approaches shape global responses to conflict and ecological crisis.

The Historic Second Global Summit on Indigenous Peacebuilding will be held from 25 - 26 April 2026 in New York City, United States of America.

The First Global Summit on Indigenous Peacebuilding, held in Washington DC in April 2024, brought together over 120 Indigenous peacebuilders, traditional authorities, women leaders, youth, and allies from across the world. It marked a historic milestone in affirming that Indigenous Peacebuilding is a vital, distinct, and globally relevant approach to transforming conflict and nurturing peace grounded in ancestral knowledge, spirituality, and relationships with lands, territories, and peoples.

Two years after the inaugural gathering, the Second Global Summit on Indigenous peacebuilding in New York City will convene to reflect, strengthen, and operationalize this transformative agenda. It aims to advance a global movement where Indigenous Peoples are not only peace recipients but recognized as peace architects and guardians of our planet's balance.
