Sydney, Australia – The Nepalese Indigenous Nationalities Forum, Australia (NINFA) is set to honor the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples with a grand celebration on the 10th of August, 2024. This year’s theme, “Protecting the rights of Indigenous People’s in Voluntary Isolation and Initial Contact,” reflects a commitment to the preservation and recognition of the most vulnerable indigenous groups.

Event Highlights:

Formal Program: The evening will commence with a formal program, graced by the presence of notable figures such as the NSW Premier Chris Minns, Minister, the Nepali Ambassador, and leaders from the Nepali community. A special segment will pay tribute to the Former NSW General Consulate and the Founder President of NINFA, acknowledging their contributions to the community.

This parade is not just a display of colourful attire but a profound statement of identity and pride.

Cultural Performances: The air will be filled with the rhythm and melodies of the Nepali Indigenous Community of NSW, as multiple cultural performances take centre stage. These acts are a testament to the rich tapestry of stories and traditions that these communities carry.

Musical Interlude: Adding to the cultural feast, a Nepali singer will captivate the audience with songs that resonate with the heartbeats of the Himalayas.
