About the Arctic Council Indigenous Peoples’ Secretariat

The Arctic Council Indigenous Peoples’ Secretariat is a support Secretariat for the International Indigenous Peoples’ Organisations that are Permanent Participants to the Arctic Council .

IPS does not speak for the Permanent Participants. Instead, it creates opportunities for the Indigenous Peoples’ Organisations to speak for themselves, and helps provide them with necessary information and materials.

IPS work includes:

• Ensuring that Permanent Participants are sent documents and reports connected to the work of the Arctic Council and its working groups.
• Helping Permanent Participants to present their views to the Arctic Council and its Working Groups.
• Collecting and communicating information about the Arctic Council and its results to the Indigenous Peoples in the various parts of the Arctic.
• Providing co-ordination for the Indigenous Peoples’ Organisations to meet with each other, and to participate in the Arctic Council Working Groups.
